A little story

I was told an inspiring little story lately that I wasnted to share with all of you...

"We had a training last month and this guy came to talk about a variety of things. He told us about his AA daughter. I gathered that they unintentionally adopted her, but were thrilled with their decision. (Sometimes children fall into our laps when we least expect it.) Anyway, he was telling a story about when they had gone to a baseball game and his daughter had to go to the bathroom. She took off, running, to the restroom and he followed her. This AA guy stepped out and stopped him and asked why he was chasing that girl. He said that she was his daughter. The other guy thought about it for a minute and said "But she doesn't look anything like you." He said "You're right, she looks just like her mother." Then he explained that she was adopted and the other guy squinched up his face in a confused look and said "Why would you do that?" The first guy said *** "Well, why not? You didn't, so I did."*** I just thought that was great. Our DS bio family thinks we are totally nuts and racist for wanting to adopt him. But why? No one is standing in line saying "I want that child." so why not us? It's definitely something to ponder and it's a personal choice we each have to make."
