A Christmas Wish Comes True


Why the big smiles?? Our agency CHILDRENS HOPE INTERNATIONAL received word today from Russia that they will be ACCREDITED on Friday!!! WOOHOO!! This is exciting news, as this means that things should move a little quicker!! I have been smiling all day!! Not only is this good news for us...but wonderful news for all those little kiddos that will be finding new, loving homes!! I've always loved this time of year and now another special memory to add to this season of miracles!

We're hoping that next year's "Family Christmas Photo" will have an "addition" to it!! As you can tell by the picture...we're ALL happy to hear the good news!!

What wonderful news, the only thing better will be the actual call to get that special little boy. And we'll pray that comes soon.
Give our love to all of Mike's family, enjoy your Christmas.
We love you Mom & Dad

Hi there! Just found your blog on the CHI blog, and noticed that you are a Vlad family, too! We completed our adoption from Vlad (with CHI) in August...so we have that connection with you!

Anyway, just wanted to say "hello"!!

Mike and Heidi - My husband and I are with CHI and are on the exact timeline. I wouldn't be surprised if we go together if by chance two referrals come up. I mean our timelines are almost identical. Oh, by the way, we're going to Vlad as well. Email is rmoody@ccredu.com
