The earthquake in Haiti has me thinking a lot about all those poor kids in orphanages—and all those who just become orphans. I guess that's why I've been reading a lot about adoption this week. Some stories are inspiring, some informative, and others, downright depressing. Here are some links I Iove (or at least recommend).

I love this post! Thanks for the positive light on what is a beautiful second chance for children and families! Millions of children wait across this nation and around the world for families. Adoption has nothing to do with whether you can or do have bio kids. It IS finding a treasure that so many miss out on in life. It is one of the best things that I could have ever done in my life!
