I saw you on Gamila's site and followed your link to see what you like to read. I'm a HUGE Maeve Binchy fan and love Stephenie Meyer too.

Congrats on the adoption plans. I've thought a lot about it myself. I wondered if it would be too hard because we also have three children, and I figured if someone had to chose between us and a childless couple, we wouldn't get picked.

I'll be following your adoption blog to see how things go for you. Best of luck!

I just wanted to congratulate that you on the adoption plans. I think it's great. No real advice, but if you live in the northern Idaho, western Washington area, I know a great adoption attorney.

Good luck!

Congratulations on your decision! No advice here as all of my "kids" have four legs and fur, but I'll be anxious to hear how things progress for you!

I miss your book postings, but there are things more important than books! :) I hope everything works out for you and your family! I pray for the best!!!

Good luck with your adoption plans. It certainly is a momentous decision!

What a big decision! Congratulations! It seems like a great opportunity to offer a home and a family to a child in need of one when you've got the means to do it, so I hope everything goes well for you and your family as you go through the adoption process and that you'll have a new family member to love soon! =)

Oh my goodness! What an exciting trip you had...Disneyland AND a big decision! Wow! I will keep fingers and toes crossed for you. A friend of ours works with adoptions of babies/children coming from Eastern Europe. If you are interested I could get you his name and number.

With such excitement and such no wonder you didn't do a lot of reading. With a new baby/child coming you should probably just get used to that.

Thank you, everybody, for your well wishes. I, too, am praying that everything goes well.

Gaye (it feels so good to call you something other than "Inside") - I would love your friend's number. Thanks!

Congratulations on your decision! What an exciting time in your lives! Thoughts of joy being sent your way. Tee Hee, there was no pun intended. :)

I've been a fan of your blog for awhile now, just never commented. What a way to grab me! Congrats on your life changing news and I wish you all the best! No advice here, I'm young and not even married yet :) But I'll stay tuned to see how your process goes!

Best wishes with your adoption plan. Sounds like you relying on the Lord.

What a big decision, and how lovely. Especially as you have three children already, to find room for one more. I can speak about what some of the results are, because my father was adopted, and so is my brother. It will change your life forever, and the child's. While i know I have family out there - grandparents etc - that I have never met, I had a wonderful grandmother who took Dad in and made him her own - he came into a family with 8 children! And we were her grandchildren, in her eyes. I can't tell you how much that love means. My brother is Native American (Ojibway), and he is the only boy among 4 girls. He is our brother. It always amazed me that people picked on him for his skin colour (we are caucasion) and not my sisters and I, and I learned alot about people and attitudes growing up. I guess what I'm trying to say here is, once you adopt, the child will become yours, and brother or sister to the children you already have. There are ties as deep as blood, and it's love, and if you feel the calling, then I hope you are blessed with a lovely child to adopt.
By the way, my name is Susan too, there's at least three of us in the book-blogging world that I know of now!
