Adoption Final!
Hello, we just adopted our two foster son's who are Guatemalan from our foster care system yesterday morning.
 They are 2 & 3. We've had them since the baby was born and his brother was 12 mo. I would love to post pics but it says they are too large. Sorry, but I'm computer illiterate and do not know how to resize if someone could please help. Thanks

Right click on the picture, choose OPEN WITH, choose PAINT, choose IMAGE, choose STRETCH/SKEW. On the stretch change it to 35 in both horizontal and vertical. Save it and upload it. Hope this helps. Good luck. You can PM me if you have questions. I am also computer illiterate and needed help from a fellow forum member.
