A Little Bit of Sunshine to Tide us Over!
No–I am not referring to Auburn winning the National Championship! Even though in my household–all the males are walking around like peacocks! No, I’m talking about an e-mail from our agency–Great Wall. It came early in the evening. It was from a family who traveled to China in November. They met Hannah when they adopted… Read More
