I would love to adopt, i lost my little boy of 8 years old ,4 years ago to a drunk driver , my husband was also killed. I know adopting will never replace the lost child or would i want it to, but i think i know some of your feelings, you weren't done nurturing and you have so much love you need to give to a child. I know that is my hearts desire. God Bless you on your search. Duckcall

Dear Oliviasmom,
I know how you are feeling about adopting. We lost our sweet 3 year old daughter a year ago in Sept. We adopt special needs kids and feel like we are not through yet. No, adopting a child will not take the place of our child. That is not what we are trying to do. So many people think that is what is in our mind. We just want to love another special child. If that is what you want to do, don't let anyone stop you or talk you out of it. It's always a blessing to love another child.
Bev.
