Guest guest Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Thank you all, so much for the prayers. I will go to Portland, this Wednesday, for a complete physical and information session. Over the past days, I've gone from feeling a little scared and anxious to what an honor this is and I just pray that nothing prevents me from giving this gift to this boy. I don't foresee any problems with my physical, so hopefully it will be a go in the next couple of weeks. Thank you all so much. Marcia Mom to Sara (DS) and 12 and Lucas 16See what's free at AOL.com.
