Psalm 127:3-5

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth.

Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!"

Psalm 127:3-5

You've Got Your Hands Full

It's been FOUR MONTHS since the day we brought our Dusty and Sonya home.

Dusty sitting on John's lap in the orphanage.  We were Dusty's first visitors in over six years! 
Dusty in his home - ready for his first day of KINDERGARTEN!
Sonya in the orphanage holding onto the bars of her crib.  Where she had spent the last five and a half years!
Sonya in her home - excited about her first day of KINDERGARTEN! 

We have had a busy summer filled with precious time visiting family and friends.  Lots of new places and new faces for Dusty and Sonya to see.  Where ever we go - someone usually says, "You've got your hands full!"  Our response is... "Yes, and our hearts full too." or "We wouldn't have it any other way!"


Dusty and Sonya's lives have changed, but SO HAVE OURS - all for the better!  We give thanks and praise to God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for leading us to find our children way on the other side of the world!

    Thank you for an update! There smiles and the joy in their eyes is an amazing thing to witness. Sonya has such life in her eyes and you have no idea how emotional it makes me to see how well she is doing, I truly hope that one day our paths will cross and I will get to meet you, her, and the rest of the bunch! God bless all all of you and I can't wait to follow along with their journey!

    I understand that you adopted from the same orphanage as one of the girls we are pursuing. She was in "Danil's" groupa before he went home. I'd love to know if you have any pictures of her (or info) by any chance. You're welcome to contact us at NoLongerAnOrphan@gmail.com and we can converse further. Thanks & God bless,
