preparing for launch

the time is almost here as we are within days of heading across the world to be united with our daughter. As the time has grown closer I reflect on all the work put in by me and wife, and by that I mostly mean my wife. endless forms , endless contacts , and a whole lot of waiting. as I look back I think of a number of good people I have met along the way and the way an attitude changes when you tell someone you need the appropriate form for adoption. Upon attempting to fill out our passport forms the lady at the post office seemed a little shy of patience with my wife and I until my wife cited her nervousness was due to the fact that this was a passport to enter China for the adoption of our girl. It seem as if she had sprinkled fairy dust upon her as her attitude changed completely. She wasn't even to angry about the fact that i listed my own birthday wrong. this whole process has reassured me that there are allot more good people than bad. From the local authorities who helped with all the forms, to the lady who issued me a new ss card. All my neighbors who showed excitement to friends and family who simply could not wait. Our employers who have allowed us time off to parents who will take care of things while were away. Most of all the wonderful people at EAC and specifically Carla and Deb for all their kinda words and endless devotion to find children homes and parents children. there are far to many to thank but the real point of this post is to let who read know, for every time you here of a bad deed on the news, know that a million good deeds went unreported. Know that most people are good people and when given the opportunity will all step up to help.Remember that most people are doing the best they can within themselves and that we all need help sometime, and should all be willing to give help at anytime.The world is agood place with kind and loving people, do not the a few bad deeds overshadow it. Do your part, be one of the good people, and I'll do my best to join all of you.Be safe and god bless.
