http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/eu_russia_adopted_boy Heartbreaking!! Just heartbreaking! As a mother who has disrupted her adoption I feel that I need to speak out. First and foremost, I 100% disagree with what this woman has done. Unfortunately, disruption happens... more than most realize. It is one of the most painful agonizing decisions that any parent could ever have to make. It is not something you go into lightly, but when you enter into that decision, there is a legal way to go about it. Shipping a child back to their country ALONE with a note is cold-hearted and completely unacceptable. I can see where the outrage is coming from! However, I feel that when a person's emotions are high she may tend to say things without completely thinking them through. So, I just want to take a minute to try to help you understand that disruption isn't always a bad word. DID YOU NOT EDUCATE YOUR SELF? Well, of course we did! We went to every class there was. We watched the videos. We talke
We had an amazing Easter weekend! How about you? On Good Friday, we attended Secret Church! We did a 7 hour study on The Cross and Suffering. I learned so much and I hope to share more later. Saturday we had an eggstra special Easter Egg Hunt at our home. We stuffed 150 eggs with Scripture, prayers, Bible quizzes, acts of kindness, and candy of course:) The kids could earn Knowledge Points and Compassion Points. Before running on to the next egg each kid had to open their egg and complete the task in order to earn their points. The kids had so much fun. You could hear kids giving compliments, high fives, helping each other find eggs... You could see my sweet babies stop what they were doing and take time to pray for the orphans for the missionaries for the poor. They shared their favorite stories from the Bible and what they learned from that story. It was precious! They cashed in their points for cash to help our missionaries here and around the world!

So today is the day that I share with the rest of the world the changes going on in our family. I know it may be hard for some to understand and not all will agree, but I know in my heart that we are doing what is right no matter how difficult it may be. Anna Li will be leaving our home and joining her new family very soon. It was a very difficult and agonizing decision for us but it was a decision made with Anna Li and not for Anna Li. We love Anna Li with all of our being, and she loves us as well. We have made lots of progress over the past year. It seems as each day goes by we get closer and closer to each other. With that said, there is still a huge emptiness in Anna Li's heart. She misses her country, her culture, the food, and the people. Living in small town America limits the opportunities we can give to Anna Li. I choose not to talk about the difficulties we have faced in our small town, but you should know that there have been many. Through the adoption community,
