One of the blogs I enjoy most in blogland is for a family adopting a second daughter from Guatemala. I think I first read their blog just after they picked up their first daughter (okay, I actually don't remember when I first read their blog, but I was quite taken with all the beautiful pictures & family stories). Easily, it's the first blog I check each day in my round of blogging buddies.
Earlier this week she posted about wanting to be in Guatemala for her daughter's birthday. I don't have a lot of money these days, but I have plenty of airline miles. I have MUCHO LOTS of airline miles with Continental. Well, it seemed pretty easy to me to give her the miles so I did.
It is such a blessing to help someone else. Helping her gives me hope that maybe someday I'll have a chance to adopt from Guatemala also.
I keep thinking back to last fall. If my original agency had told me earlier they wouldn't help me, could I have found another agency willing to work with me? Would I have gotten mixed up with some of the scammers? We're beginning to hear some of the tales of adoption scammer heartbreak & thousands of dollars vanishing into unscrupulous pockets.
I still believe everything happens for a reason. I still believe I will be able to adopt. I still prefer Guatemala to any other country.
And now.... helping her be with her daughter next month.... I have a little more hope, too
