We aren’t perfect. We aren’t rich. We arn’t kidding ourselves about being able to provide the “perfect” home for the child we bring into our home. But at the end of the day we are usually glad that we decided to expand our family this way.

Some days the question is open for debate, of course. That’s the “human” part. But most days, we’re very thankful.
