Happy Gotcha Day!

Today is the 7th "Gotcha Day" Anniversary for Blake & Bryce! 7 years ago today, we officially became Long & Lan's parents in the eyes of Vietnam. It has been a crazy fun time & we look forward to the future! We are so blessed. These were our first family portraits we had made a few months the Fall after they came home (In April)....they had just turned 2! Finally a FAMILY!

October 15, 2007
What does this date mean?
Well, this is the day I wrote down on my calendar that I can feel the spirit of our daughter. Has she been born on this day? Relinquished to the orphanage on this day? Did God just wake me up on this day to her presence? I wonder....I guess we will wait & see, but here's the date. Documented. I'm so curious!

Follow Up: Now we know the answer....this was the day that Caleigh's birth mother relinquished her into the care of the Red Cross CanTho Orphanage.

God Is Good!

Through our adoption journey to bring our twin boys home 6 years ago, our Faith was tested! We had an 18 month wait for them! In the end, true to His Plan, we were united with our children & became a forever family. The wait for a daughter is now added to our lives. We will wait & maybe a little more patiently now. As we have now learned the true lesson: All things happen on "God Time", not ours. Pray with us while we wait for the health and happiness of little Caleigh Lydia~ Grace, wherever she may be!
