Do you think most people believe you are lucky to be loved by an adoptive family?
Wed, 2008-03-26 16:44 - Kerry
There is no question, I AM very lucky to have the family that I have through adoption
I often think people mistake the image of having money as being an escape from cold reality
If only others could see what I have seen. No one with an ounce of sanity would think I was "lucky"
