I'm not blowin...Ann Kimmel is one of my heroes. I'm not blowin' smoke here. She and her family had the strength of will and the unfailing faith to go out into our wide, scary world and bring back their daughter, the girl who was always meant to be part of their family but, due to a cosmic hiccup, was born halfway around the world. Ann and fam KNEW Alina was out there somewhere. They found her and they brought her home. If only we all had the courage of our own convictions that these folks have shown. Imagine what we all might accomplish. Never let me hear a word against Ann or their family decisions. I'll come atcha like a cracked-out spider monkey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443113229424618800.post-91039539317328117632012-08-17T05:11:28.675-07:002012-08-17T05:11:28.675-07:00WOW, is all I can say, some of the things that you...WOW, is all I can say, some of the things that you have heard, it amazes me how ignorant people are sometimes. I have to give you credit for "being hushed" yourself to some of these comments, my reply back after awhile would be borderline insulting.

We experienced this type of ignorance ...Love this! We experienced this type of ignorance with our infertility struggles. "Just relax and it will happen." "There's a reason for everything." "Just adopt...everyone gets pregnant when they start the adoption process." I could go on and on...but instead, I'll be hushed. Just know that I understand, albeit from a slightly different perspective.Renovation Girlhttp://www.therenovators.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443113229424618800.post-52860673567241380452012-08-16T13:17:21.614-07:002012-08-16T13:17:21.614-07:00Be hushed!
