Joann, You are truly a wonderful person. Thank you for your post. I've read on here that you take in little children who are in trouble medical wise and care for them and I know it really takes a special person for that. Not that many people could handle that. We adopted a perfectly healthy 9-year-old 25 years ago. It was hard enough on us adopting an older child--I don't believe I could have taken on even 1 with medical problems. My hat's off to you. By the way, that older child that we adopted has given us 4 beautiful grandchildren! I'm sorry that some people have (apparently) said some hurtful things to you (not from this list) because you're Morman. I'm a member of the Reformed Church up here, but to borrow from an old phrase, we're all members of the human race. It just so happens that you have been blessed with an extraordinary amount of goodness and kindness. Dolores

Delores; Thank you so much for your warm and heart felt comments. you are so very sweet. I really needed your comments this morning and I thank you sincerely. I again am sorry that I misunderstood anything yesterday, I was having a hard day and it was not hard for things to be taken wrong. You are a very sweet lady and I am glad to have you as my friend.
