I am now an adoption blog addict. I got your link from Darrell and Jess's blog - they used to be in the Ecuador program. Anyway, I just read your July 28 post and I am crying at my desk.

Well, I...I am glad for you! It's so wonderful!<br /><br />Well, I didn't tell you because honestly? It didn't happen to me. I know a lot of people say they do, but we didn't fall in love with a picture. We fell in love with Stinkerbelle, obviously, but only once we met her in person. The picture was just a picture of a baby -- our baby, and very cute, but still someone we didn't know yet. So for us, it wasn't the "love-at-first-picture-sight" thing. Slower, and more gradual. But just as wonderful, in the end.CinnamonOpushttp://www.cinnamonopus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012958329981212922.post-14643263417805834172009-08-01T17:08:18.096-06:002009-08-01T17:08:18.096-06:00Well, ok, next time we'll try the shaking thin...Well, ok, next time we'll try the shaking thing.
