"It's choice -not chance- that determines your destiny"
- Jean Nidetch
Well our journey to our destiny has officially started. After months of researching agencies and many hours of research in general, We have officially started the process. I mailed the application and nice hefty fee to INS (still having a hard time with name change- USCIS).
We will hopefully decide on a home study agency this week. I have the application and check filled out and in an envelope, ready to be sent, but just waiting for 1 more email to come back. Tell me I don't have a problem committing, Always afraid I will make the wrong choice. It's funny because I know there is no WRONG choice, Just different paths to get to your final destination. Some paths are shorter and easier, While some are long and windy ( and filled with gigantic boulders that block your way). I always try in advance to look into my crystal ball to find that shorter path, but it just never seems to work. Then I have to make myself jump in and see what transpires. I know that "no choice is a choice".
I am big on quotes, So expect a lot of them . (Maybe I have something to do with why they call my oldest son "FORTUNE COOKIE" at school, I think it's a cool thing for him to inherit) What better way to learn then from the wise that came before us. It's amazing how one sentence (A quote) can make such an impact and change the way you look at the world.
Follow us to the Land of Dragonflies in search of our Destiny. We found our children half away around the world in Vietnam. Follow this family of seven as we live and love life daily and try and change the world.

Children are the future of mankind
And it is the undeniable right of each child to be nurtured, loved and protected,
Ideally by his or her own family.
If for some reason this is impossible
Because of poverty, sickness, death or lack of concern,
Then the child must be cared for by the human family.
We are dedicated to the philosophy
That every child who enters this world
Should be the recipient of the gift
That was promised them at the moment of birth.
The gift of Life.
Cherie Clark, 1977

Steven Curtis Chapman - When Love Takes You In lyrics
I know you've heard the stories
But they all sound too good to be true
You've heard about a place called home
But there doesn't seem to be one for you
So one more night you cry yourself to sleep
And drift off to a distant dream
Where love takes you in and everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in
And somewhere while you're sleeping
Someone else is dreaming too
Counting down the days until
They hold you close and say I love you
And like the rain that falls into the sea
In a moment what has been is lost in what will be
When love takes you in everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
And this love will never let you go
There is nothing that could ever cause this love to lose it's hold
When love takes you in everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in it takes you in for good
When love takes you in
