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

We got a DATE!!!!

Yes, you read it right!!! We got a call this morning with a court date of SEPTEMBER 15!! That is all the details we have now, but they will be emailing us with specific travel dates. The good thing is we will be here for the Ryan & Michelle's wedding - the bad thing is "lil man" won't be here for the wedding!!! That's OK...he'll be here for every other celebration in our families for the rest of his life :) We will keep you posted as we get more information, but we just wanted to share that exciting news with you all!

I have also extended the deadline for those of you who would like to donate to the orphanage. Now that we know when we are traveling, we can extend the deadline a little more. Thanks again to Wendi, Erinn and the Bruce's for their generous donations! We know there's got to be more of you out there who would like to help "lil man's" friends!!!!

Thanks for your prayers and support. Love you all.

So very glad to hear this! Yay for court dates!

We're going to be coming into Kaluga on September 19 for our first trip. Not sure if you all will be staying after court, but if you are, it would be fun to hook up with you guys!

Congratulations!
