I agree with you - though I'll say I'm pretty lucky.<br /><br />It always stirs me the wrong way when people who have never been close to an adoption <i>(who is THAT anyway? !!)</i> make strange remarks... like, "Oh your parents must be such wonderful people."<br />Yes they are... but not because they adopted me. <br /><br />When will people understand that adoption is just another way to create a family... and not some strange, queer thing?<br />It could start with the way celebrity families are described... it boils my blood to hear reports that say, "Celebrities X & Y have two adopted children and two children of their own." Grrr. <br /><i> sorry for my rant </i><br /><br />A family is a family. And adoption is beautiful!!TRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801686710086039781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-91281371920702066602009-10-13T23:19:33.145-05:002009-10-13T23:19:33.145-05:00indeed, love transcends all. this is an inspiratio...indeed, love transcends all. this is an inspiration.Hailey's Beats and Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13406072210991647906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-20620588102782282492009-10-13T20:11:26.604-05:002009-10-13T20:11:26.604-05:00Congratulations on the newest arrival.Congratulations on the newest arrival.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595549057172510815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-42132895575036134812009-10-13T17:15:23.092-05:002009-10-13T17:15:23.092-05:00But really the shoe is on the other foot...they kn...<i>But really the shoe is on the other foot...they know are the luckiest ones in the world, the most blessed. </i> So true Anna.

Just 6 weeks before heading to Ethiopia the birth mom dropped 2 more children off at the orphanage. Those 2 children will be adopted by another couple at our church. Amazing story!<br />Anna, it's wonderful that you're supporting your friend.<br />Amy, mom to 2 Asian kids from afarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-81314597205337064342009-10-13T00:11:29.037-05:002009-10-13T00:11:29.037-05:00What a beautiful little girl!

It is something I have prayerfully considered for a year or two, and recently struck hard by Matthew 25:35--I was a stranger, and you invited me in.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403233175071026416noreply@blogger.com
