I tried to order the tee shirt of the title of this post but it was sold out. Drats! Saturday I leave to spend a week with Nicole volunteering in Gulfport, Mississippi. Instead of balking about what needs to be done in this country, I wanted to make a difference so off I go. I'm totally excited about this trip and am sure I will come back renewed with a new sense of self. I've always been a do-gooder but this is different. I think it's the whole adoption thing that has made me feel like I am the luckiest gal alive. I feel so priviledged to be able to travel halfway around the world and be given the gift of motherhood, that I have this incredulous need to show my gratitude and what better way. As a nation we are not doing all we need to to aid the victims of Hurrican Katrina. While small, I hope my contribution makes a difference in someone's life. No pat on the back nor gratitude is expected. This is just something I have to do.

Love the title! Too bad out of T-Shirts. Enjoy making a difference in Mississippi.
I think it's awesome you guys are headed down to Gulfport. I imagine the reward will be huge--can't wait to hear about your week after you return.
Wish I were joining you on that trip, I know it will be amazing for you... can't wait to hear all about it when you return...

Have fun in Mississippi, sweetie. Looking forward to hearing all about it when you return!
I was looking at your LID today and thinking you would be giving birth right about now,huh. Here's to the gestation of 2 elephants!
God I hope your referral is here before summer's end...
