Your blog is great and I will check it often as I pray for your progress...god bless you!
Just saw your comment on my blog...if you ever want to chat send me an email brockntina@metrocast.net
It is so fun meeting new people that have adopted or are in process with Rwanda. There are more of us out there than what all the statistics say! God Bless...I just love your blogs...what beautiful pictures....they could be in magazines or something!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I am so excited to follow your journey and will be praying for Myles. I am inspired by your story - so cool!
