Ginny, you don't know me, however I found your blog by reading my friend's (Beth Raiford Parkman) blog. Your journey is incredible, and I'm so glad you get to bring your little man home, soon. Our friends are in the adoption process, and by reading your blog, it answers so many questions and helps me understand their journey.
