It is going to be an exciting new year for us!!

My wife and I were 44 (years young) when we brought home our son from China last September. He was 33 months old when we received him. We have two older sons: 16 and 18.

I'm not a church-goer, or very religious person, and have never pretended to have even the slightest inkling of what God may or may not want. But as I recall it, Abraham and Sarah were no spring chickens when Isaac was born.
