It's like we are part of a family, and we all have shared the struggles of going through all the paperwork and what not in order to be blessed with our children. I met one of my BFF online too, and she also took a risk (after all we had not been through all the fingerprints, etc yet). And that family are now Kerri's godparents and their daughter is Kerri's BFF.<BR/>As for being frugal, go for it! Nothing wrong with that and who cares what anyone else thinks. The money you saved will make a difference in children's lives in Haiti!Vivian Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901008350652019275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244610.post-48038930091929620032008-09-29T07:58:00.000-05:002008-09-29T07:58:00.000-05:00Cool beans Hunny Bunny!!!!

What a huge blessing to have adoption friends that can share in the journey...I too have met several wonderful families close by. I don't think she posts much in our group, so I wasn't aware of her blog...do you think she'd mind if I am a regular visitor?

What a totally awesome experience, orchestrated by an amazing God, and executed by two families who were willing to step out in faith and do something unconventional! Really made me smile!<BR/>Kaylakayder1996https://www.blogger.com/profile/10163830032652646010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244610.post-91813485537842794722008-09-28T19:08:00.000-05:002008-09-28T19:08:00.000-05:00I am beyond humbled by this..
