March 21, 2012, 9:14 am

This idea has come to me several times in waves as we've been on our journey. Every time I just get discouraged and convince myself that it's not for us. DH and I have no children at this time. For this reason, we would want to adopt and parent a child, not an adolescent... there's a reason...
