What do you say when you meet your new 2 year old sons for the first time?
If you had 7 days to spend with your new 2 year old sons, what would you do?
What do you say when you leave your 2 year old sons, and how do you make him secure that you will return 'someday' to pick him up and take him home?
Why does adoption take so stinking long, and cost so stinking much?
Just some thoughts going through my head.
