I am so happy for Mia and the rest of your family!!! She is such an angel and what a blessing you have been to her (and her to you!)! I just have to tell you thank you for all of your posts. In fact, your husband (via a former co-worker) is how we got introduced to RR and your blog and you've been a big inspiration to us. We just barely got our commitment to our beautiful daughter, Melissa, posted on RR. Thank you for your real and loving look at special needs adoption from across the world!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08045585043001399414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426461519105292765.post-18833913963011576282011-06-12T15:25:11.904-07:002011-06-12T15:25:11.904-07:00I have never cried so much while reading blogs.
