Another Good-bye:(

It has been six weeks since I brought my baby girl home from Ethiopia. We had our first post placement visit today. I have decided to pull myself out of the China program. I am really feeling complete with my two girls. I am feeling a bit bittersweet about this desicion as I am single. I wish I could give my spot to someone else!
I will continue to hope and pray that CHina speeds up and more children find families. Hang in there everyone!!!!!

Kristen

You, in a way, will be giving your spot to someone else. Glad to see you are happy and content. Your first daughter must be so elated to have a baby sister.
