I just pray that everyone doesn’t regret not stepping forward and doing something a year ago to lobby for adoptions to continue in Haiti. Everyone [...]

How’s that for a blog post title? Let me explain a bit….. Four hours – the time between when I first wrote the post about urgently needing medications for Sandia and Edna (the twins) and when we had commitments for both of the medications. That’s right, 4 hours. Four states – there are people in [...]
