I was reading a blog of a family getting ready to go get their baby in China. This was written at the top of their blog. Oh my goodness. I have told many of you the feelings I had at the orphanage with Nyah. The feeling that no matter how much I did or how many children I adopted it would never be enough. I felt like the task was too big. This story stopped my heart and made me feel so good about adopting my girls and making a difference in their lives. But it also made me realize that the task is not done. I may never adopt another child but some how I need to make a difference to more children.
