I am emotional!!!

So I tend to be an emotional person... always have been. Especially about children, animals and well anything! For all you who know and those who do not know me... I am a small town country girl who before I met my husband which was when I was 18 ...never went outside of PA ( OK well Ohio... Cedar Point) Anyway I never knew much in the way of poverty, homeless, or orphanages. ( I knew it all existed just never saw it with my own eyes)
Since we have adopted it has open my eyes & I have become very emotional about it. I find myself some times thinking back about the orphanage seeing another baby or child in the next crib or bed... and I think what it must feel like to have no one... no mom or dad. No home to really call your own. And it TRULY breaks my heart! I just want to scoop them all up & hug them & love them and take them with me.
Lately I find myself thinking about it more & more. It weights heavy on my heart & mind. I have shed many tears. I think what can I do... I would love adopt all the children if I could .. but I am not a millionaire ( not even close) I know that alot of the babies get adopted out but there are some children who are older 2 3 yrs old who might get over looked. We thought about adopting and older child but it seems most agencies want to keep natural order in the ages of your children so since Jacob is 15 months they state a baby is best... anyway I just needed to get these emotions out so I could feel a little relief...but they will never go away. I will never stop caring... its who I am!

I understand. I am an emotional person when it comes to precious children with no families, too. So, here we are waiting to adopt our daughter from Thailand who will turn 13 in June. This will be our first child. My husband and I will celebrate our fifth anniversary this June. So, I guess we're trying to catch up with our friends who started their families earlier on.
