Carnation, I just want to tell you what an immense amount of respect i have for you. Adopting children and giving them a better life is probably the greatest gift you could ever give. We definately need more people like you and your husband in this country.
Only a narrow-minded idiot couldn't see that it takes a big heart to raise children right, and an even bigger one to welcome children into your family who aren't biologically yours.
I cherish every time my Kindergarterners come to PE. I was always the guy that was like, ugh, kids, but i've definately changed. The little ones just melt your heart, especially up here, where a lot of them don't enjoy the same luxeries that i had growing up. Just having them say, "hi coach K" and wave to me when i pass them in the hallways, or have them all get excited when they come into the gym is enough to make me look forward to the day when i've got my only little tykes. 
I've been thinkin about adoption lately, mostly cuz i look at the kids in my school and think that some of them deserve better life situations. Hopefully someday when i've got my little brood, i'll be able to adopt a child from up here and give them some of the advantages i had growing up.
Seriously, if you don't get a warm-fuzzy feeling being around little kids you're probably working with a smaller heart than the grinch. Again, carnation, you are an awesome woman and i'm sure a great mother

I completely agree with this kitso- I have such a profound respect for you carnation its unbelievable! I never really liked kids until my dad got remarried and had two girls- (they are now 4 and 5) I ADORE them and can't wait to have kids of my own- but i'm most definately adopting kids no doubt about that
Thank you for your story carnation- some people think I'm weird for wanting to adopt- and knowing so young that I want to eventually (i'm almost 21) but I know in my heart that its what I'm meant to do
