I've been a lurker. :) My husband and I are just beginning the process of adopting our first little one from Uganda and I can't tell you how much of an encouragement your blog has been to me! Thank you so much for sharing your story!<br /><br />Blessings, KarlyKarlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16799858731433922220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-45711900346288903102010-12-03T21:57:07.144-06:002010-12-03T21:57:07.144-06:00Hi Miss Anita,

I expected to go gaga over the babies and the toddlers, but it was the BOYS, all about 8-12 years old, who stole my heart. There was one in particular who asked me more than once to take him home. Of course, Efia had our attention at the time, but I found myself wondering if it might be possible to add a big brother, too. Unfortunately, you know what happened and why we did not. But I'll never forget "my boys" especially the one who wanted a Mama so badly. Efia still talks about him, too.the H familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855516261373280556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-31102481002444021212010-12-03T15:13:50.787-06:002010-12-03T15:13:50.787-06:00The sad thing is, it's the families with more ...The sad thing is, it's the families with more than 5 children who are usually open to wonderful older kiddos like these two!

Yes, there are ups and downs when adopting older children. They did have a whole life before you. But, the joy they bring outweighs ANYTHING that you go through with them. I wouldn't hesitate to adopt an older child again. Get to know them, make sure the adoption is right for them, and the children in your home, and then DIVE IN!!!! <br /><br />We love our Ghanaian kids so much. I am SO profoundly blessed to call myself their mom. <br /><br />--Beckyfullplatemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478407161082714085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-63337964671640502342010-12-03T09:29:52.117-06:002010-12-03T09:29:52.117-06:00Once again, I can't even bring myself to look ...Once again, I can't even bring myself to look at their lovely faces because of our family size.thecurrysevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932092243753160814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-84861961558892189332010-12-03T09:17:34.657-06:002010-12-03T09:17:34.657-06:00Aren't they sweet!!!
