Smile Adoption video's-would you care to share..
yours with us?? I love seeing them. There was a time
that I was seriously doubting ever bring a child home..
The hope in the videos is always so touching. They would also give me ideas on making my own.

I will try
I am not sure if this will work or not. But here is the link to Aleah's referral video I made to send family and friends to announce the referral.
<a href="http://www.clipshack.com/Clip.aspx?key=96868703845B642B">
aleah referral_0002
</a>

I have another great video of her first bath in Guatemala but I need to find here I saved it! How do you lose things like that???

Hope it works.

I use windows movie maker too. It's pretty simple to use. Here's one of my two dogs I made a while back where it mixes actual video footage with still pictures. Moviemaker can do lots of neat things...

Here is our video web site. This is from our visit. The videl camera was broken for pick up and is off being repaired now. I watched the other videos. Very creative and heartwarming.

Msdice...
I just saw your video and your son is wearing an outfit that looks VERY similar to the outfit our daughter was wearing in her referral pictures!

Here's a picture of her...
