It takes an Village to bring a Child home.

We've heard that old saying a million times, it takes a village to raise a Child.  Well it certainly takes a village to bring a child home from Russia.  We have been blessed by many of you along our journey.  There are so many people that have helped in various ways.  We had to leave our boys more in the past few months than we have ever left them before and we always had wonderful responsible people watching over them.  We also had a list of people that were willing to be emergency contacts for them and picking them up and dropping them off from various places.  One of our friends came over and helped watch over our oldest when he got sick while we were away.  What a blessing these people were to us.  We would not have been able to fly so far away if we didn't know our boys were in such good hands.  We had to have a huge stack of paperwork notarized all along our journey and we had 2 ladies that were willing to drop what they were doing so many times and take the time to notarize all our documents.  We are very thankful to them.  We received an unexpected tithe in the mail and the family said they were moved by God to send it to help spread God's love and bring our sweet girl home.  What a wonderful gift that we are so thankful for.  Our families have been very supportive and loving all along our journey.  We have a fantastic crew that work at our business that was able to take over Chad's job so he could concentrate on our journey.  We are so thankful to them.   We had help from a wonderful lady in Texas that we have never met when we got thrown that one last piece of unexpected paperwork that had to be apostilled in Texas and we had very short notice to have it done.  So many of our friends and family were so willing to help us in so many ways and we thank you all.  As we rock our baby girl in our arms we can't help to feel so much gratitude to all of you that helped make our journey possible.  Thank you is not enough.  We will always do the best job that we can do the guide, teach and help our sweet girl to grow into the wonderful young lady that God has planned.
