I'm so happy to read about your referral (dont' know where I've been on facebook... how could I have missed this before today!) but i am so excited for you guys!<br />I want you to know that I think about Reece's birth mom every single day...and we adopted him 4 years ago. She is my hero, hands down. She was simply too poor to care for him, and was afraid he would die. So she gave him up, knowing he would be kept safe and in a loving home. It is incredibly, disgustingly unfair that she did not get to keep him, just because she lives in a country without "welfare"...she loves/loved him soooo much and wanted him.<br />Thanks for sharing your feelings. I am excited for you guys!Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670502172120122866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648529125972116087.post-29201938055204756322011-12-04T20:31:28.633-06:002011-12-04T20:31:28.633-06:00Amen amen amen!

And sometimes I look at Amani and I think about his birthmother and my heart hurts that she can't see his smile.<br /><br />Praying for SPEED for your process!Kirstin Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631507577310218402noreply@blogger.com
