I am sure you are so excited to see how He uses her and all your children as they grow up! p.s. We finally made a decision and have complete peace from God about which direction to move. Last time I emailed you we were still wondering if it was Uganda or AA domestic adoption! Today at 4:00pm est the news will be posted on our blog! Just wanted to let you know because you were a help to us with answering questions about AA domestic adoption a few weeks back!Jim and Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251699587621835032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893097126776917798.post-71515324818964494532010-03-31T09:38:13.220-07:002010-03-31T09:38:13.220-07:00She is the most amazing little girl I have ever se...She is the most amazing little girl I have ever seen.
