Thank you Winter and Emma for this insightful interview! I look forward to reading more of your posts. We are in the process of adopting a little boy who will probably be 4 by the time we get him (Abraham on RR), and it's great learning about adoption from a kid's point of view! God bless you, and good luck with bringing your sisters home!
