Whooo hooo!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!
;D
You got robbed! I heard the Chinese Government was having a two for one sale.... >:(
Well, nice job. If those yoyos don't want girl babies, screw 'em. That's a lucky little girl. Take a bow for being such goodhearted people.
Brian, I always knew you were a nice guy, but you just went up another 20 notches in my book. My wife was adopted, too. Any shmuck with working tackle can have a kid, but it takes real love to adopt. Everyone I know who was adopted is way cooler than average. That probably comes from having parents who really wanted them.
You're so cool that you should be rewarded! I owe you one free pass in a race.
;D Just you TRY and collect! ;D
Congrats! She should do great on the pit crew next year!

I think Super Dave meant that he himself was adopted :)
Congratulations on your new addition!
Thanks guys.
It is taking time for me to adjust to no longer being an only child ;)
Chris, it really isn't worth getting upset with the Chinese. They are in a tough spot. 20% of the world's population and 7% of the arable land and a culture that depends upon males in the family (the eldest male takes care of their parents). They see a need to control population that clashes with a culture several thousand years old. Rural areas are more likely to abandon girls than are people living in the cities. The mothers want to have sons just as much as the fathers. India is a similar country - no social security, pension plans etc. because the eldest son cares for the parents in their old age.
We discussed it for a while (starting 4 or 5 years ago), the process itself took about 2 years. We kept quiet because at one point it did not look like we were going to be accepted. Quite an arduous process.
A woman at my work just adopted a baby earlier this year. Long, stressful process, but well worth it in the end. Sincere congrats! :)
