Yesterday, I received letters from my cousin Suzie and one of my best friends, Janis. It wasn't my birthday and I hadn't sent any gifts (the two mailers are very good about thank-you notes), so I was puzzled as to their contents. When I opened up the envelopes, I found that Suzie had sent me an article about adoption she had read in her parent magazine and Janis sent me coupons to Babies-R-Us. I felt so special that these two had seen these items and not only thought of me, but then took the time to find stamps, envelopes and my address. I feel so fortunate to have so many amazingly supportive people in my life.

My Dear Sara,
Your Mother sent me the link to your blog so I could follow as you and Jose travel the road to parenthood. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you on this life changing adventure. What a lucky child that will have you as parents, and what a blessing a child will be to your life. God bless, God speed. Janice Kaye
