I just really love that story.<br /><br />And I love the way the nursery is coming together.

But despite my years of successful CL'ing, your story totally takes the cake. That is just so meant to be. I love it.<br /><br />Goes without saying, I hope everything works out.

I wanted to call you, but I don't have your number - you only have mine and I can't understand why you wouldn't post it on your blog, oh wait, I totally do because that is creepers. I understand so much about having so much to share but not being able to share. There were so many things about our match with LittleM's birthmother that I haven't been able to share at all. It's hard, but it's for his and her best interest. By the way, are you on "Production not Reproduction?" It's like the best adoption website out there. Lots of opinions from all sides of the triad. <br /><br />Also, the only thing I've ever found on Craiglist is sexual predators and hoarders. WHY does everyone luck out except for me???<br /><br />Colleen Oakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548749077604704648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-62436043316167481382013-10-14T19:22:26.442-04:002013-10-14T19:22:26.442-04:00How adorable...both the dresser and Craig's li...How adorable...both the dresser and Craig's list story!
