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

Oh my, those chubby cheeks are SO ADORABLE!!!
You don't know us, but we have been following your blog by way of Wendi Schurr. We too are adopting a child from Kaluga. We had our court date on September 25, 2009 and I think are going to Kaluga about the time you guys are heading home with your little one. We are so glad that your family is complete and very glad to read that you haven't had any issues leaving the baby house. We are crossing our fingers that our luck is as good when we pick up our 17 month old.
Nicole, he is absolutely gorgeous!! I am so happy for you:) I wish you all the best that motherhood has to offer. It is an amazing journey:)
He is soooo beautiful. What a smile!
Your family must be just on cloud 9 seeing all the pictures...and now they just can't wait to meet him in person next week.
Have fun your last few days!
