People wonder how someone who was abandoned or abused goes on.... usually the only thing that saves abused kids is FAMILY LOVE. If you want to be moved... If you want to see what the gift of family does to a child who doesn't have one... If you want to see "dead" children living... watch this. This is what life is about for us. It's not about how much money we make or keep in the bank. It's not about hoping to help someone one day when it's more convenient or affordable (because it will never be convenient and "affordable" is relative)... it's about just doing it and trusting that LOVE and FAMILY WILL WIN in the end. I love adoption. http://vimeo.com/55307071
In this video the dad said someone told him once when they walked into their dining room that, "It looks like a United Nations dinner table". That's what I want. I want to have a table filled with children from wherever God brings them from that need the love we can give them. If I could take in every lonely, hurting, parentless child I would and I hate it that I can't. No child should know the pain of feeling abandoned and alone. As we took some family pictures the other day all I could think about is the fact that Wanna and Fritzon are such a part of our family and our hearts.... I can't wait until they can be a part our daily life and our pictures.
The story, the journey, the heartache, the joy, the frustrations, the celebrations, the emotions and my life as a mom adopting from Haiti.

Associated
Press article - Well it's not much but I did spend a lot of time with

understand all the lingo. There's just a quote from me in there... http://www.washingtonpost.com/
