November 21st - a day to remember!

One year ago today was when we received Blake’s referral and our lives were forever changed. Click here to see the posts from this time last year. Here are a few of the lines from the post made about November 21st…

From Children's Hope: Heather, you are going to think I am nuts, but I wanted to get a hold of you before the weekend. I know this sounds crazy, but we have a three year old boy that just came available in Vladivostock (Vlad)…

I could not get home fast enough to see that picture! I used the time in the car to pray. Is this God testing us to see if we can do things according to His will? He knows I am a fanatic about planning and schedules. Is He trying to make me realize that not everything is according to my plan? When I got home Justin gave me a huge hug and I lost it. All of the emotion of the past day and a half was exhausting…

We have decided that we will call Children’s Hope on Monday and let them know that we would like to travel to meet this little boy. We are so nervous and scared, but we are excited all at the same time.

This is the picture we saw that day…



And this is Blake now…
