Kara said...: APRIL...you've got to stop w/ videos like this! ha! Just kidding! I am soooo one of those few people who has been called to adopt. Brandon and I spent countless hours before and since we were married talking about how we'd love to adopt one day. Like you, some of our family members aren't very understanding or supportive...and to be honest, we don't care! We KNOW that there's nothing like it, since our neice is adopted, and videos like this tug at my heart so badly! Thank you for sharing!; February 10, 2010 9:12 PM
