It's all about love and finally being a family.<BR/><BR/>I LOVED your last paragraph.

Honestly, this has made me a little uncomfortable on a few ocassions because we never really approached it from a "look at us doing a good deed" perspective. If anything, adopting Liam seems kinda self-serving - that is, our adoption process was a means to get something WE wanted: a child. This wasn't an especially altruistic gesture on our part so I feel a little odd when people dote on us for being so charitable. <BR/><BR/>Of course, all three of our lives are already are being enriched beyond belief. Just thinking about the experiences of the past 5 days with Liam makes my heart soar. Watching Dede finally get to be a momma fills me with joy.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101289328294242999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544246936964017863.post-10505194501300038892008-02-05T21:54:00.000-05:002008-02-05T21:54:00.000-05:00It seems like everytime Norm & I turn around we me...It seems like everytime Norm & I turn around we meet someone new who has adopted, or is in process, or has a friend/family member that has/is.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion, if you're going to be part of some sort of statistic being an adoptive parent is about as good as it gets! I take that back...it's the BEST!<BR/><BR/>What other questions can we answer to help you pass time?<BR/><BR/>Or, were you serious about helping me w/ my new header to pass time?
