Edited to add: I just reread Connors story, and was struck by how happy he looked that first night with you all.
Like he knew and was thinking "Hey! These are good people, and I'm so happy to be here with them!"
Your husband is a fine writer too.
I am still shocked at how well my little girl did. She literally went from only child to a brother in a few hours, and took to him like he's been her brother always. It was just meant to be.
Well, my son is far from being a celebrity, but they chose to NOT to adopt in the states because of the readiness with children are given back to their 'birth' parents. His exact words, "Dad, I couldn't bear loving a child and having it taken away from us." One GD has an autoimmune disease and if left in China would have died by now. It's best to not judge the actions of others - most of us should spend more time judging ourselves.
I think your family has definitely been a blessing to those two girls. I don't know that if adopt here either to be honest. It's so difficult and depending on the state, heartbreaking. We didn't really get a choice, but had I been looking to adopt, we would probably have looked overseas as well. I have a friend who has two adopted children, but they had many adoptions fall through at the last minute also, and it was a long, expensive, and absolutely heartbreaking experience for them.
