Happy 2nd Heart Day Mila Hopey Bear!


2 years ago today our sweet Mila Hope was recovering from Open Heart Surgery. I've been looking at her pictures for the past 2 days remembering the day we had to hand her over not knowing for sure if we'd get to take her home again. I can't think of any other day in my life that was harder than that day. We trusted the Lord and knew He had a plan for Mila's life! We are so grateful to CHP and her surgeon Dr. Morell for performing her life-saving surgery. It still amazes me how the Lord orchestrated our journey to Mila, how He sustained her and got us there just in time, and how He has redeemed her life. From tiny and sick, scared, malnourished babe, to strong, healthy, bright, and FULL OF LIFE. It's still tough to look at her pictures, but our sweet girl is a survivor by the grace of God! It is my privilege to watch our beautiful girl grow up....and I never forget for even one second that her life is a TRUE miracle! Happy Heart Day (12/19) Mila Hope!

  5. Sofia, Just think on this day 12/24/12 your mama was on her way to get you and bring you home to your daddy and sisters. Little did you know that when you went to sleep on Christmas Eve that would be your last night sleeping in the orphanage and on Christmas Day you would see your mama and she would walk out the orphanage gates with you in her arms. Your dream of a forever family was answered. Little did you know how your life would be changed and how you would change the lives of your forever family. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
