Legacy of an Adopted Child

"Once there were two women, who barely knew each other. One is in your heart forever, the other you'll call mother. Two different lives, shaped to make yours one. One became your guiding star, the other became your sun. The first gave you life, and the second taught you how to live it. The first gave you a need for love, and the second was there to give it. One gave you nationality, the other gave you a name. One gave you the seed of talent, the other gave you an aim. One gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears. One saw your first sweet smile, the other dried your tears. One gave you a family, it was what God intended for her to do. The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you. And now you ask me, through your tears, the age old question through the years. Heredity or environment....which are you a product of? Neither my darling...neither, just two different kinds of love". - Unknown

Home Sweet Home

Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you all know we are back home. We arrived at Dulles on Sunday 1 hour earlier than we were supposed to and getting our luggage and going through customs was a breeze (much quicker than last time). Then we enjoyed a Father's Day dinner with our families and shared details from our trip. We drove home Monday morning and both went back to work - Nicole is officially on SUMMER VACATION!!!! YEA :) So, what's next - we get our paperwork over to Russia ASAP and wait for a court date. We are hoping it is before the end of the summer - but remember - we aren't in control - just along for the ride! We hope you are all doing well and hope to see/talk to you soon. Love you all!

Hi there!

I stumbled upon ur blog. My husband and I just got back on May 16th. We are waiting for our court date to go back as we were hoping it would be sometime soon, maybe August or September, crossing our fingers.

Sending you positive thoughts on a quick court date.

This waiting is just soooooooo difficult!!!!!!

We can't wait to go pick up our little boy. 13 months!

We just got back from vacation so I finally got the chance to catch up on your latest journey!

I am soooo happy for you and Lil Man is so blessed. I pray that the p/w processing phase is quick and that soon he'll be home in your arms for good.

I'll be keeping tabs on you!

Many blessings,
Laura :)
