So true...

I found this on someone else's blog, and thought it was so true!

You Know Your Adopting When.....
Top Ten Ways You Know You Are Adopting Internationally:
10. The fact that there are 143 million children without a parent to kiss them goodnight has made you lose sleep.
9. You can't watch Adoption Stories on TLC without sobbing.
8.You spend free time surfing blogs about families who have experienced the blessing of adoption.
7. You have welcomed a social worker into the most private parts of your life.
6. You have no idea how you will afford to adopt but stepped out in faith anyway, knowing where God calls you, He will provide.
5. You are prepared to take an airplane ride half-way around the world and return with a child you just met.
4. You know what the word "Dossier" means, and you can actually pronounce it!
3. You realize DNA has little to do with love and family and that welcoming a child into your heart and family is one of the most important legacies you could ever leave on this earth.
2. You shudder when people say your child is so blessed/lucky that you adopted them, knowing full well you are the blessed/lucky one to have him or her in your life.-Author Unknown
1. You stare like a psycho at every child you come across that is the same ethnicity as your soon to be adopted child imagining the day you are united with your own.
