You look so much like her.<br /><br />When we first announced we'd adopt, the excitement wasn't quite there amongst family and some friends. <br /><br />When we finally brought Stan home, I believe that our joy of becoming his parents was contagious and grew immediately amongst friends and family. <br /><br />We had a wonderful homeschooling group that showered love on him to the nth degree...waiting for us at the airport with welcome home signs, and a small, intimate baby shower amongst the closest of friends. <br /><br />The joy we felt, the joy we felt when we were given his referral, was the same joy as giving birth biologically, for us. <br /><br />With all of the bumps that come with the ride, know that the joy will mount to even greater heights! <br /><br />The cost...that's what is keeping us back right now...I would LOVE to adopt again. I just don't get it.Pattyhttp://www.reasonsforchocolate.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
