WE ARE THERE WITH YOU, YOU KNOW THAT!!
You don't know me, but I found your link through another friend's blog and was curious because we are in the adoption process too hoping to adopt from Honduras. We are a Christian couple who live in Dallas TX and are just thrilled that you are going to pick up your baby boy. He is absolutely adorable. So happy for you.
