Madden's first Gotcha Day!!!!
September 29th is my sweet baby's first Gotcha Day!
I am going to take him to do something special, but I thought I would also take this time to thank all of you again. You see, long before I even started trying to have children I started building my village. I wanted whatever child God chose to bless me with to have not a wealth of things but a wealth of people to love him. This first Gotcha Day I am reminded that one year ago I left that courtroom the proud mother of the most beautiful child I have ever seen. We came home to a house full of people who had been waiting to love him for just as long. And then, I started working to make certain that this wonderful child had everything he needed. Well, we may be in some very bizarre circumstances now, but this child still has eveything he needs. More than anything, my son has so many people that care about him. I thank you all for that! Praying that God blesses me with year after year of the joys I have experienced with this amazing child in this single year,

Give little Madden a hug for us on his first Gotcha Day!
 Abigail's first Gotcha Day will be on 10/3 and we can't believe where the time went! We make sure we get a special cake for each of our kids' days, particularly since our son's is on December 25 - we needed something to differentiate the celebrations.In any case, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Gotcha Day! Robert

Nobody deserves to celebrate more than the two of you! You have already persevered through strife as a family. Your bond will only get stronger.
Enjoy the day.

Happy Gotcha Dayy too, Adrian! And Abby too! I know hers is coming since we were there together. Can you believe this Carrie and Robert? Remember those tiny little things we left Stavropol with? I remember the applause when you both stepped out of the orphanage with that girl! We are clapping for you again!
