SO many Dads are hard to convince. Mine certainly was... maybe because he felt the weight of supporting our family. It does seem that so many families have uncannily similar stories about how their children came to be with them.

Our stories are very similar in that we wanted as young as possible for our first and adopted Leila at 32-months old and then we wanted older for our second - the reason we went the special needs route in the first place - and adopted Mia at 13-months old. God has better plans for us, that's for sure! Ella is such a beautiful little girl!Michelle R Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16024961661573511589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882710105846303043.post-74433073718473375972008-07-22T15:02:00.000-07:002008-07-22T15:02:00.000-07:00Ronda, that was a beautiful post.

I can't thank you enough for your willingness to spend your time and story with her. I know how busy it can be when you are visiting and it means so much that you were so proactive in helping us. I'm so glad you have been so blessed through your experience.
