What's this?

I have one son adopted from China

There may be children in America who need homes, but you can say that about other countries, too. International adoptions are different from domestic. Adoption laws are different from country to country. Adoption costs are high, such that there is a $10,000 tax credit on your 1040. The bottom line is it takes special people to adopt, and they are invariably led to just the right child in the right place to become a part of their "forever" family. It's hard to explain until you've been there, done that. God bless adoptive parents and children.
