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

Off to the BEACH

Hi everyone! We hope you are all enjoying your summer and had a nice 4th of July. We are getting ready to head to the Jersey Shore (Wildwood, NJ) to spend a few days with Dennis' family. We are looking forward to a few days away and just relaxing together!

Just wanted to let you all know that our paperwork is at Gladney and as of Tuesday, they were looking through it and making sure it was ready to be sent to Russia. Remember - we are praying for travel dates at the beginning of August or after September so that we can be here for Ryan & Michelle's wedding - we of course would rather go in August so we can have him at the wedding!!

It looks like a lot of people have put in their votes for what we should name "lil man". The survey program I used only let me put it up for a certain number of days, so if you haven't voted and want to, make sure you vote in the next couple of days. And you will have to wait until we bring him home to find out!! Sorry to keep you in suspense....but it is kind of fun :) Also, today "lil man" is 9 months old!!!! Hope we don't miss too many more "celebrations". Talk to you all soon!!!
