Heart I'm so blessed!

My parents live in Norway, and it's only a few weeks ago that I told them about my plans of adopting from Guatemala.
Today when I spoke to them on the phone, my Mom was telling me how excited her friends are for her - they all have 'grown' grandchildren and are happy to have a baby they can start knitting for again.
I can't tell you how glad this made me - the fact that she's telling her friends about this even before I've gotten a referral, it just truely warms my heart.

Just had to share this with you

I remember telling our families of our desire and intent to adopt from Guatemala. We have been supported 100% on all sides, and it makes a HUGE difference, especially when times get tough.

Wonderful news, sounds like your family is sent from heaven.
