We share your heart for adoption and plan to start the process later this year for our first daughter from China. You are an inspiration and encouragement to me as we proceed on this journey.

Ah, yes, the exoticism of New York City.... :P. Also…I’m giggling a little bit at being included in the same phrase as bloggers from Korea and Ethiopia.

You are the only blogger I read who a) has so many children and b)has adopted children from another country. (that I know of) I know that we could never afford it but if we could we would love to have such a big and diverse family. Thank god for people like yourself! I admire you so much Mary.

And I'm already thinking about adoption (down the road, post grad school and post "having a husband"), but your blog reminds me of what a blessing it is for others, and will, God willing, be someday for me. Keep it up! What a lovely post.

We have many friends and family who have had their families through adoption, to the joy of all. When I was teaching pre-school, I would always get so excited when the "good" parents chose to have more. There's enough love to go around! Bless your good and loving heart.
