Nice to see you back. We just returned from Nepal with our five year old son. As we welcome this full of energy and spark of a boy to our home, we think of all the people we met throughout this fragile process and realize how lucky we are. We hope you will not give up on Nepal. There are so many orphaned kids there who are so easy to love.
I've enjoyed your site!
