iPad winner and Thank You

The winner of the iPad was Carol Hanson.

I want to thank everyone who donated to and/or shared about the iPad giveaway.  I'm so grateful for all the support I've been receiving as I go through this process again.  There are no words to express how much it means to me.

How's it going?

When I applied with my agency back in November of 2014, I let them know about the child I was hoping to adopt.  Either a boy or a girl, preferably under 4 years old and also a list of special needs I felt I could handle.  As I went through the process, I decided there were some needs I could cross off that list.  My agency has a webpage where they post pictures of children that are “assigned” to them (and I’ve spent a lot of time on that webpage!), but there are many more children available for adoption.  After my paperwork was sent to China in October, they started sending me files of children that matched what I was open to.  Reading those files and seeing those faces is so hard.  I wish I could say “yes” to all of them, but I have to be realistic and admit that I can’t help them all.
