It’s amazing story! And I think you’re very positive person. I’m also thinking about adopting baby, I would like to have bigger family, but my doctors told me, that another one pregnancy can weaken me too much. I have heart problems, that’s why they told me that.

I really do not know what to say! Your story is really inspirational. I started my blog for something else, to help new companies. But I do write in my spare time and just note my thoughts and feeling down. I have kept my emotions inside too much and it did affect my health but writing things down has really help especially when it comes to my conscience!
