November is National Adoption Month

It is estimated that about 1 and a half million children have been adopted in the United States (Stats found here: http://www.adoptioninstitute.org/FactOverview.html ).

For the record...

Yes, we want to adopt. We've tried twice and failed. We haven't given up yet, but lack the strength and resources to try right now. We might wait a year or two years. Maybe longer. I usually don't want to talk about it. Infertility and adoption are very personal subjects that deal with very personal emotions. After nearly thirteen years of trying to become parents, it becomes exhausting at times. If you're not sure what to say, I always appreciate prayers. :)

And now, please enjoy this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjMz0MmYejQ
