My husband and I have recently started to plan for (hopefully) having children ourselves. I can't imagine the upheaval you must have been through, struggling to conceive initially and then going through all the rigamarole that the adoption process entails. My heart goes out to you and your husband, and I'm so glad your efforts will soon be rewarded with a beautiful little daughter. I have sent a small donation your way, it's not much (the exchange rate is a bit cruel to us Aussies right now) but I hope it helps a little. Best of luck, I hope your little family is all together soon. Hi Kate,

From one mom (4 year old son, and 15 month old daughter-both adopted from Korea) to another...it's worth EVERY moment of the wait. And thank you SO much for your recipes and humor. :) Thanks to you, my kiddo will have cut out cookies to take to preschool so that he isn't left out of the cookie frost! And again, congratulations...looking forward to hearing about your little one coming HOME. That's when the REAL journey begins, you know...and the sleeplessness. Hehe.

We have a lot in common. Our first son is adopted (we struggled with infertility also, for about 8 years). After we adopted him, I quit my job (I taught deaf kids) and then we were blessed with two biological children. Our oldest son was just diagnosed with celiac, but that is not his only medical condition. He also has Spina Bifida and had surery to correct a tethered cord back in January. It's a big journey (trial and error, mostly!) and now we are adding something else. I look forward to finding great recipes and hearing more about your adoption process. Good luck!
