Ann,
I will definately be visiting at least twice, in order to get to know her,
and talk with her foster parents, Case Worker and others about her history.
I will probably be staying for a little bit at least, to give her some
time to know me alittle and make her own decision. I have two babies at
home and I have to make sure that she can adjust to our home and family and
will not act out abusively towards the little ones.

Will you be traveling with the kids, or do just you come and meet her first?
Such a huge step.
I know I'm not the kind of person who could do such a thing, I'm glad there is
people like you who will. There are so many kids in need.

Ann,
I am sure that I will be coming on my own at least the first time. That
will be when we decide if she is a good match for us, and if we should then
proceed with her adoption. We have purely selfish reasons of wanting a
little daughter all our own, and a sister for our boys, so don't go making
saints out of us! I don't think I could live up to that!
