I just wanted to say t...Hey Michele, this is Dotti. I just wanted to say that you and Andy are such an insperation. I told Andy about my brother and his wife who tried for almost 10 years to have a baby. They tried invetro, fertilty drug and artificial insemination. Nothing work. So they desided to look into adoption. For 2 years they searched and pondered and Prayed. When they finally desided what they were going to do my sister-in-law got "The Flu" {as she put it} after about 2 months of fighting the flu she went to her doctor.....lo and behold she was pregnant and gave birth to twins. Two years later she gave birth agian. I believe that when GOD is ready for you to give birth you will. But in the mean time I think it would be great to have a little black baby. You both are in my Prayers. Have a safe and Blessed trip. Hope to see you both soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37257884.post-20491826098940180472007-07-21T19:43:00.000-07:002007-07-21T19:43:00.000-07:00Hey there toots!!

I also cracked up over your "bring home a baby" comment since that is exactly the type of souvenier (sp?) we brought home from Vegas. Love ya girl. I'm staying posted.<BR/>-nikAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37257884.post-35161358296068673362007-07-19T12:56:00.000-07:002007-07-19T12:56:00.000-07:00I'm not making light of the situation, but the las...I'm not making light of the situation, but the last comment you made about bringing a baby back cracked me up. Let's go on a mission trip and get a baby, bring it home and tell everyone how your wonderful trip was. This our souvenior-not a t-shirt or blisters on your hands, but a baby! It would either make you want to immediately go back or wonder what the heck you've gotten in to-kinda like me when the doc broke my water...I was like "this is for real-no going back now". Guess I should have thought about that 9 months prior. You might be like that-all the planning and stuff then when it really happens it's a dose of reality! Fortunatley I was immediately ready for another. <BR/>HAVE A WONDERFUL WONDERFUL SAFE TRIP!!! Can't wait to hear about it. You'll have LOTS of prayers going up next week, because we have Revivle!<BR/>Love You Guys Tons!<BR/>EmileeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37257884.post-87425812641950340742007-07-19T04:24:00.000-07:002007-07-19T04:24:00.000-07:00Hey Michele.

We have several families in our church that have adopted (both locally and oversees). I'm pretty close to one of the families that adopted two children from Guatemala. If you'd like, I can put you in touch with them. They could give you a good perspective on what it's been like for them having a trans-racial family.
