I find it unfair that you don’t cry and yet we poor schmos who read your blog cry on a regular basis. When we had to send ElfGirl back, the floodgates turned on in me and I cry over every little thing these last several weeks.

We were able to sponsor a Compassion child this year due to someone else’s generosity.
What a privilege.
I too am impressed with their organization.

Sigh. The only time I cry is when I am in the third trimester. Which I am now. So I cried while reading this post. Sigh.

Great post. Off to visit the Compassion website.

Love how that boy thinks! Just wait til he starts asking when you will bring her home! Our kids did not understand why we “adopted” a child and did not bring him home from Guatelama. So literal, those little monkeys.

I just spoke to my husband briefly as he is returning from a visit to an orphanage in South India. I turned to your wonderful blog to make the time go fast while I wait until midnight to go to the airport to pick him up. On the phone, he briefly relayed to me how much help was needed for those little children in India – said he gave all of his travel money and we need to send more when he gets home. Then I read your post about “Compassion” and the comments from your readers. There are so many precious children needing help and so many compassionate people wanting to do something. I am glad there are organizations like Compassion to match them up.

Congratulations on your new mom status! And to Sean for being a new “little brother”. He’s got it down to its most basic, doesn’t he?

After reading Sophie’s and Shannon’s and all’s posts this past winter, I sponsored my second Compassin child, a little girl in Bangladesh. She and my El Salvadoran teen bless me so much. You will never be sorry.

I love the line, “we humans have a lot in common.”

Yes, we do sister. Thank you for this post.

No doubt, as you eXtend yourself to bless her life, you will in turn be blessed in ways you never imagined. It’s a God thing.

PS: I so hear you about the “ugly” crying (the kind that only gets worse if you try to hold it back). I did quite a bit of it myself this past week…
