I glance at the waiting children occassionally. I don't know why I do this but I do. I'm still banking my travel money so I can't go now and I already fell in love with my child. Mia is probably a couple months old and living with a foster family. We should be in Thailand in 12 months picking her up and that makes me feel great!
For those who are not familiar with adoption terminology - Waiting children are children who may be older healthy children or have minor medical or physical conditions - some correctible.
I blog this in hopes that someone will see them and be able to take on a sibling group.
This adorable sibling group 9 year old girl and 3 year old boy are healthy and were relinguished for adoption from the mother who is financially unable to care for them anymore. Reading that a mom gave up her children due to money after keeping them for almost 10 years is troubling to me. I can't fathom the agony that all 3 of these people faced with that decision. You can see it in the children's faces. I felt like I should pass this along in case you guys don't watch the waiting children photolisting.
