Gotcha Day (1 Year)

Today marks 1 year since our "Gotcha Day" It is amazing to think back 1 year ago at that scared little boy who walked into our lives. He was SO scared but willing to walk into the arms of his "new mom and dad".





Looking back I see how brave of a little boy he was. So calm he entered the room to two strangers who would immediately embrace him and begin to speak to him in a language he had never heard. He would be thrown into a NEW life after one train ride. His world would forever change and we don't stop changing in this family!!!! We are always on the go and always moving from one thing to the next. He has joined right in with a brave spirit. He has NOT given up and he has embraced the new life he has been given. 

Have there been hard days??? OH YEAH! Have there been amazing days? OH YEAH! 
One thing we are sure of, this little boy was made BY God to be a Goings. His plan to enter our family is not the same as our girls BUT he was MADE to be Finn Longfei Goings!!!!!!






It's SOOO hard to believe this was the boy we met
And look at him 1 YEAR LATER!!!!!!!!  What an amazing and unbelievable transformation!!!!

Finn,
 You have captured our lives and hearts. I can't even imagine my world without you in it. I prayed for you to be a sweet boy who loved his family. WOW! God has answered those prayers!! You are so kind and gentle, meek and mild. and you LOVE your family. We ARE your family. Sorry it took us 3 years to find you but the 1 year we have had together has been a crazy blast!!! We are now here for good. You have found your forever family and we will never leave you! You fit in our family just perfectly!!!!!!
LOVE you Bub!!!!!

Here are a few more pictures from our first days with our little Finn and the other family we traveled with.
