TO ADOPT OR NOT...

I look at this face and see how happy she is constantly singing, jumping, laughing and calling everything "punny" (that is funny). She justs melts our hearts. We all just love her so much! We keep talking about another adoption. Last night I had some more words written in this post with questions that we are going through and when I read what I wrote, I thought noone really needs/wants to read about this so I am changing the words. We are just at the stage of strong questioning and figuring things out financially and health-wise and how our family would be. I want to so badly but so many considerations. But it is amazing the strength of the want but we will see. I read all these stories about the children in the orphanages and want to do something. Beginning the process of how to raise money for this endeavor. I've been doing a lot of research...We'll see-this is NOT saying we are going to but it is in our minds. I don't usually like to post personal things but they say when you write things down, it can help. Now my mind is spinning with what to do...

I know what you mean. I watch those videos and it breaks my heart. There are children all over the world who need forever families and I want so badly to just hold all of them. I look at our girls and constantly wonder what their lives would have been like if they had stayed in China. Would they have been loved, cared for, happy...probably (I think they were both in good foster homes) but is it the same as they are getting here...with us..no, they are a part of a family and they belong with us.
On the $$$ issue...one suggestion is y'all could move here..the cost of living is so much less and that would save you a lot of money. I will start looking for a house for you ; )
