I received the $5000 check from a dear, sweet facebook friend on Tuesday at 4pm, directly went to the FedEx and mailed the check off to my agency. Heartsent received my check on Wednesday and on Thursday evening I got the email....

One year ago today

One year ago today was Orphan Sunday. November is Adoption Awareness Month and Orphan Sunday always falls in November. Last year Brennan (who was only home about one week), Trevor and Arianna (all three were once orphans and now are my children) were baptized. It was a beautiful day and I am grateful for all of my family and friends that came out to help us celebrate that my children were no longer orphans and that these once orphans were now part of my family and God's family. What a special day.

One year ago! Wow they sure have changed :) <3
