RESCUED!
One year ago today we finally left the orphanage for good.
TODAY.
Blossoming.
Flourishing.
Loved beyond description.
Treasured.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for these beautiful gifts you have given us.
No words can express our thankfulness that these two girls are ours.
Thank you, Line-Marie, for the cutest little handmade dresses.
WOW! So beautiful, thank you for sharing these sweet photos.
Oh my a year already just look at those cute little girls. Adorable.
Beautiful pics!!!
Happy ADOPTION DAY, Hailee and Harper!!!!!!!
Awww so precious! Makes me think of the song Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) by Chris Tomlin. What a miracle that God called Hailee AND Harper into the redemption of a forever family…. Love you!!

How very precious!!! The transformation is amazing! Their eyes are “awake” with life! What a beautiful blessing to get to follow your journey, thank you.
So glad to find your blog…we just started one of our own and I read yours and now I will read your husbands every day! Thank you for advocating for Vanya…my blog explains how his journey has inspired our new adventure into the world that is International Adoption…if you want to read how you have inspired another family to love the “least of these” I have included the link to our new blog…http://weewalkerworldinhishands.blogspot.com/ thank you for being a witness to the Glory of our amazing God!!!
What a precious milestone!
Happy Anniversary!!

We are so blessed to be in your little lives Hailey and Harper.
I am a fairly new reader to your blog but just love watching your journey! Your girls are so precious!! I am taken aback by how much healthier they look in just a year- their skin tone is so tan! Thanks for sharing your life with us!

Oh look! they are so much more tan now! Oh they are gorgeous. I love their pillowcase dresses! I can’t wait to show my mom these pictures. She doesn’t do computers but I showed her the pictures last year. She won’t believe it.
I am so happy they are in your family!!!!
So wonderful! Thanking God for your blessings and for the love that so obviously ties your family together. The three of you are certainly stunning in blue!
Look how beautiful! This year has certainly seen them change alot. Thanks for sharing!
Ohh wow, your girls look amazing in the dresses!! I love it!!Beautiful pictures of your angels!!

Oh my goodness gracious, I got so chocked up at those pics of Hailee smiling and laughing. What a dramatic change!
All Harper needed was to get rid of the mullet! Absolutely adorable!!
You are so blessed!
Beautiful. We returned home with our adopted son one year ago today as well. Awesome God we serve.

Look at those beautiful girls! Thank you for sharing them with us.
What a fantastic way to celebrate this Mother’s Day!
It’s hard to believe it’s been a year! The changes in those precious girlies is Incredible God-Stuff! Oh, how I love them. It’s been wonderful to follow their first year home and I’m excited to see where they’ll be in another year!
Seems like I was looking at that picture just yesterday! You and your gorgeous girls! LOVE THEM!
I am close to tears. Thank You God for choosing the Salems, for blessing them so abundantly with two more precious treasures. Thank You!! They are absolutely blossoming- beautiful flowers!!!
This is going to sound nuts but…they look just like you Adeye! Happy one year anniversary of FREEDOM and FAMILY to your sweet baby girls!
oh glorious day! The pictures are beautiful and a testimony to the faithfulness of our God!
Thanks for sharing friend!
They are so beautiful, just like their mama!
Congratulations! It’s amazing what love will do for someone. They are like beautiful butterflies just released from their cocoons, a beautiful transformation.
Are they actual sisters?
Thanks for updating us and letting us into your lives.
Blessings!
Look at Hailee’s smile!!
We often see Harper smiling on this blog but Hailee’s is a real treat. Cannot believe the growth compared to the year ago photo.

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful! A special day in deed!
What a beautiful “flourishing” picture of you and the little girlies. Happy Mother’s Day!
I remember, checking your blog via my blackberry, and checking it over and over and over again, to see if you’d gotten your girls…
…one year ago, who would have imagined? Only God. He knew this all along. WOW….
One word…BEAUTIFUL!

It seems like SO MUCH longer ago than just a year. I feel like the girls have been a part of your family forever as I’m sure you do too. I can still rememer skyping you and Anthony while the girls slept in your apartment over there. Wow! Such memories!
I looked very closely at the picture of you in the ss shirt and STILL couldn’t see ‘anything’….waiting patiently for the big reveal!
Hope is so breathtaking, hope is so worth everything, hope is so evident in their stories…
Beautiful.
Had it seriously been a year since I got to hold those sweet little ladies! Love you all. Have a wondeful Mother’s Day my friend as you delight in your many blessings!
