I am mostly a lurker, but I just wanted to share our news. We are adopting from foster care (straight adoption, not foster to adopt). We have been waiting a year this week and we were feeling very discouraged. Our prayers have been answered. Can't wait to have our little guy home. For those of you still waiting, have faith. It will happen.
The waste in life lies in the love we have not given, the powers we have not used and the selfish prudence that will risk nothing; and which shirking pain, misses happiness as well.
