This time my husband, and our neighbor was over standing by hubby's computer, but much to my surprise they came over behind me, and watched the whole video with me. It is truly a heart warming story. What a truly amazing family you people are. Now, reading this Post I see you're amazing in many areas. I'm glad to have met you my new friend.

That just came to close to home last year we came close to adopting a baby boy .. but because he is part native indian .. we are not first choice candidates (despite him also being Italian)... he will turn 2 this August and is still in foster care .. it breaks my heart ... We are now turning our focus to finding a gestational surrogate (we have 5 embroys - due to accident I am unable to carry) .. but still have our hearts and home open to adoption.I hope your story has a happier ending. xo HHLhighheeledlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205935979513877589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610971479449338872.post-14878040789807760522011-03-02T10:45:38.400-08:002011-03-02T10:45:38.400-08:00What?!

It took us awhile to get to where we are now (preggo with our first baby) and it's always hard reading about other's struggles.

I lost 6 babies and by the time we decided to give up, mostly because my body couldn't take anymore, physcially or mentally, I was looking at 40 and our only daughter was by then almost grown. Decided we didn't want to be raising our children with grandchildren possibly coming soon. It was the right decision for us but still, the pangs come at times. I'm reading this with mixed feeling but knowing that he is with you now is what enables me to be excited to read the next chapter!jeanette from everton terracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02025486213973874174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610971479449338872.post-78594818502676342502011-03-02T06:38:40.686-08:002011-03-02T06:38:40.686-08:00OMG..Im in tears right now.
