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

What a cutie he is! I think he was in the same groupa in the Kaluga baby home as our baby K---the room looks much the same, and I definitely recognize one of the caretakers in your pictures. SO very glad that you are all safely home and doing well!

welcome home to the cutest little Hokie!

I'm a VT alum (class of 96) adopting from Russia as well. We're going to Vladivostok or Sakhalin - our dossier was just sent over so we will hopefully travel next year sometime.

I will follow your blog now that you've got the little fella home. Our family has a blog at http://skaduce.wordpress.com if you want to follow us!
