LOVED reading that. Helped see a little bit more into where you guys are. I especially loved the part about you can't do adoption because you are "into" adopting...you have to be into PARENTING!! So true. Sort of like you can't just want another BABY - you have to be willing to parent another 3 year old, 9 year old, 16 year old etc - it's not all just the pretty photogenic moments in life! its the really hard, ugly ones too! love you!
