And once and a while it feels GREAT



I know I do a lot of whining around here, but sometimes things do happen and I feel very good about our adoption experience.

When I scanned this review of last week's soccer tournament from the newspaper, I could not help but think of the contrast between Ricardo's life as it would be and as it is. Here he is happily scoring goals, enjoying the safe environment of a loving (though sometimes chaotic) home. Many 13 year old boys in Guatemala shine shoes or sell gum on the streets hoping to bring home enough to help their family not go hungry each night.

So sometimes, it feels great.
