2. The whole baby/diaper/night feeding/toddler proofing thing? Been there, done that.
3. There are hundreds of couples lining up to adopt every baby available for adoption. We wanted to know we were making a difference.
4. Last, but most important: God spoke, we listened.

MSRED - you took the words right out of my mouth (except our bio child is a girl). It was the right choice for us, and we were the right family for dd .
