An Example of an Ethiopian Adoption

Arundhati Roy
Not only is a new world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing.
Gratitude
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough,
and more.
It turns denial into acceptance,
chaos into order,
confusion into clarity....
It turns problems into gifts,
failures into success,
the unexpected into perfect timing,
and mistakes into important events.
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today
and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Sam was almost "Dillon." I liked the idea of having a kid named after a city or location (Dillon is where our friends live in CO). I think we would have chosen "Madeline" if we would have had a girl after Madeline Island, our favorite spot. I got ideas just from kids I've know come to the nature center. The books always seemed too overwhelming to go through.
