Cracks Me Up


We just moved to a new house. Eun Jin got a room of her own. Lil Miss was ready for it. She had been recently asking to sleep in big sister's bed for nap time. She decided she had outgrown the crib mattress on the floor and wanted a big girl bed. Luckily she was going to be "inheriting" Joelee's bed at the new house.
I have been laying down with her for nap, just in case she was anxious about the move. She hasn't been bothered by it at all.
I let her look around and talk for a bit but then when she has done so for several minutes I tell her to close her eyes and go to sleep.
This is what she does EVERY time. She covers her eyes with the same fingers, and holds them closed until she is asleep. (I guess she doesn't trust herself to keep her eyes closed!)

How Much???

I don't mind adoption questions, most of the time.
I understand the curiosity. I still have it when I see families that are formed through adoption. I wonder what it was that they felt that made them want to adopt.
The one question that really bothers me a great deal though, is this one...
HOW MUCH DID IT COST?
Seriously people, I would give every last dollar to take a child from this-and place them in a family that would love and care for them.
Adoption is PRICELESS to those that know the effect it can have on a little ones life.
In a world that is not right, adoption helps those that cannot help themselves.
Does it really matter how much it costs?
