Tears: I remember my trip to adopt my first three from Layla House. I wasn't sure how I would react when I arrived at the complex. I needn't have worried. My emotions took over and I began weeping.
I am armed with that knowledge for the next time around. I also know it will be even more difficult to leave this time, because like you, I plan to spend lots of time playing with the kids at Layla. I won't want to leave! (It was heartbreaking for me to leave your Meron in July 2006. I am so glad she has you for a family!)
Praise God from whom all blessings (and some tears) flow.
Love, Heather :)
