A Nice Quote About Adoption

Not flesh of my flesh nor bone of my bone,

But still miraculously my own.

Never forget for a single minute,

you didn't grow under my heart,

but in it.

~ Fleur Conkling Heyliger ~

I bought this necklace for myself.

It comes from the quote above. It was handmade.

Operation Baby Lift

To the left you will see a video clip entitled "Operation Baby Lift". This is a new documentary that is going to come out in 2008 about Vietnamese orphans that were brought to America at the end of the Vietnam War. The reason it is interesting to us is that there is a woman who works with our adoption agency that will be helping us when we go to Vietnam that actually took part in Operation Baby Lift. Her name is Cherie Clark and she is interviewed in the film and has also written a book about the events called "After Sorrow Comes Joy". I haven't read the book yet but it is definitely on my "to do" list before we go.
