Congratulations!!!!! As for the age thing, people began mistaking me for much, much younger than I am after we adopted a baby in my mid-40's. The darlings keep you young!
Congratulations also for perseverence beyond the call of duty. You've done a marvelous thing. Cindyc

Congratulations! I am so happy for you. I remember when you lost the boys. My heart went out to you.
I can totally understand going back for a third trip. We had to for the same reasons.

The Best News I Had Today
Votemom
I think you have stunned all of us. And I think we can all appreciate you not sharing the news because of all the heartbreak you went thru w/ the 2 boys. Congratulations 10 fold. Were you in Tolyiatti ? That is where both of my children are from. And please tell us how when turned into two. It is a great orphanage and I would love some pictures is that is where your children are coming from because they had just started remodeling when I was there in 2005, so it should be done now. Again, from the heart, the biggest hug and heartfelt wishes I can send. Cheryl

Okay, I'm crying now. I am so glad that there is a happy ending for you after all. God works in pretty strange ways sometimes. I'll be thinking of you on the 4th of July. I can't wait to see pictures of your girls!!!

Votemom...WOW!!!
I had no idea this was going on!!! Welcome to the old-mom-with-young-kids club! I pray you will enjoy it as much as I am - I swear it's taken years off this one... I have continued to think of you often after your heartbreak last year. You've been so quiet this time around - but who can blame you?!! A July 4th court date is PERFECT for you! May you be enjoying the day like no other. Until all is done, you remain in my prayers... CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Whoo Hoo! I remember. I feel congratulations is not large enough for this event! It just reconfirms that God does have a plan for each and everyone of us. And for those who question themselves to remember, it's not if you'll have a child, it's when. Have fun on your new adventure in life!!
