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

Flights booked......CHECK

Hi everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your last few days of summer! Not much to update, but we have sent off our visa applications (hoping to receive them in PLENTY of time) and flights are booked!!! Those are both HUGH items to cross off of our list. Now we can focus on our packing lists and preparing for court. Some of our wonderful adoption family friends have given us suggestions on what to expect - THANKS!!

Also, a BIG thank you to the Schaar's for their donation. There's still time if you want to help "lil man's" friends at the orphanage :)

We'll be in touch as we get closer to our trip and receive more details. For now, Nicole needs to get her mind into school-mode and start lesson planning!! Thanks to everyone for your kind emails and words of encouragement. Love to you all.
