You have one week down, that is something to be excited about!
So just wondering if you could send me to some information on adoption if you have any. Hubby gave me the go ahead to start looking in to it!
I know how ya feel... sometimes there is not much to say. So you just say a prayer for your child, and keep the faith.
one day closer, laura!!
