Yesterday a friend came over so I could run to a couple of stores while the girls were napping (they're not to be left with a babysitter yet, but come on, I've got to get a break or I'm going to break). At the very first store, the clerk asked if the girls I was shopping for were my grandkids or nieces. Has this adoption really aged me 30 years? When I told her they were my daughters, she proceeded to go on about these people she knew who were having fertility problems and HAD to go "that route". What??!!! I couldn't get out of that store fast enough and will not return. So much for a fun outing by myself; I'd rather stay home and eat worms.

About Me
- Mary
- I was born in South Korea and lived with my biological family until I was 9 years old. I was adopted just before I turned 11. Adoption has always been something I've wanted to do. I've been married to my husband, Mike, for 8 years, but we've known each other for 18 years. We have two beautiful boys, James (5), and Tommy (3). We've always known we would have a girl, but that we would have her through adoption was decided after we had Tommy. We began our search to adopt last summer and little did we know the journey would lead to Ethiopia and that we would be blessed with two girls!

I actually feel sorry for people who think that way. They will never know the joy adoption is.
But we know, that's what matters.
