I'm back, and I have so much to talk about... There was a lot that happened that I couldn't exactly write about with one of them sitting next to me.

This trip was crazy. I said in my last post that I have never talked to them so much about their families. I have also never talked to them so much about adoption. I've never wanted to talk to them about it, because I have no intentions of adopting any of them. It's not out of lack of love or even a lack of wanting them to be my own kids... It's because I would want 60 of them, and there's no point of doing that.

There was a group that came down last weekend and made a video to help get sponsors, people to adopt, and raise support. I will post the video and/or link to it later. One family wants to adopt 5 of the kids there. From talking to the oldest girl in that family, it caused other kids to ask me questions about it to. One of the older boys asked if I am going to adopt Jesus Humberto, the one I sponsor. I told him no because he has a mom. Then he said, how about Chanipa (Juan Ramon), I then told him that I love lots of the kids, but I could never choose 1 or 2, I would want to adopt them all. It's an uncomfortable subject for me, but it was kind of interesting too.

Another situation that is kind of similar to this is when I was just standing on the basketball court. One of the new boys (Jose Isaac) came over to me and was hugging me. Another boy came over to me and started to hug me too. Jose Isaac then pushed the other kid away and said "You have a mom". He then started calling me Mom for the rest of the night.
