I was speaking to a gal at the office I work in regarding your blog and she has a vision for you both. She can see you ministering to the hearts of those that aren't even entertaining thoughts of adoption yet, but those who may in the future be deep in the process as well. A Ministry of working to joining the hearts of the world together as one!
