Six Weeks Ago Life Changed

Six weeks ago today life suddenly changed. On that day we agreed to host a child on the first Russian Orphan Lighthouse project in Tulsa. Nine days later D arrived in Tulsa with five other children. Never did we realize how attached we could quickly become to a child from around the world. It was an incredible 10 days that led to our pursuing adoption of D and V.
We have never blogged or shared our lives in any way online so sharing this way is a little bit of a challenge. We're overwhelmed in many ways at the support, questions, and interest that this venture has generated. Many have suggested this as the best way to let all of you know what is happening so here we go with our family blog. Thank you to everyone for the support. We really appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, and interest.

Whoa, don't know that I've ever had the honor of being the VERY first to comment on a brand new blog! But, I'm delighted that you decided to do this! I'll be able to keep up with the progress of your adoption--not to mention that I discovered via this blog that you're hoping to adopt two! I think that's great for so many reasons (one of which is because that's how we did it!) :-)

Would be more than happy to sit and chat with you sometime! Blessings!
