Special Olympics

I volunteered at the Special Olympics a couple weeks ago and it was so fulfilling.  I'm finding ways to fill my void.  I just love seeing people happy and more and more I'm realizing, I just love seeing people who wouldn't have had a chance without love to be happy (i.e. those at the Special Olympics and those in the Foster Care System).  I know this process is going to be long and heartbreaking, but something tells me no matter how sad I am right now that it will be the right decision in the long run.  We could try to adopt from anywhere, but we have made the choice to adopt from the foster system so we can really make a difference.  I've been recording and watching these "Adoption Stories" and I am in tears nearly every case...I don't even watch the international adoption ones, so I only watch the domestic ones or foster system turned adoption cases and I cry every time.  It is so awesome to see those parents become the official forever home for these kids.  I absolutely can't wait until it's me, Lord I'm ready when you are!
