I was 42 years old when David came home from Korea.  Forty-two was the top age limit to request a healthy new born.  As much as we would have liked to expand our family, we were too old to go through the Korea Program again, and China just didn't seem like a viable option.

We'd heard that if the Birthmother became pregnant again, and was not able to parent her baby, the adoptive family was contacted, in the hope of keeping birth siblings together.  For a long time, we hoped that would happen.  It hasn't.

David is having nightmares.  He wakes in the middle of the night, fearful of earthquakes, tornadoes.  He has decided we should adopt a Haitian child.

If I was 42...I would.
