Thanks for the thread, Mike, and thanks to everyone that have posted!
I, myself, have been thinking this very thing a lot lately {maybe it's the weather or who knows?} specifically in relation to our a/son that is out of our home. I am often told we are crazy to want to adopt again, but then I look at my children and how far they have come and I realize, without a doubt, that this is what we were meant to do. To take Mike's words "Our purpose". I do the "What if" quite a bit wondering what
would have become of our kids if we had not be blessed to be their parents or if we had
only had two biological children. There are times that it gets stressful, but I couldn't nor would I want to, imagine my life without my children.
When I get told that I am crazy to want to adopt again, I just tell 'em, yep! I know I am!!!

What is that country song "Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful life". Perfect!!!
