So sweet. Tears were flooding my eyes.

I have wanted to sponsor a child for years now and my husband and I have had many, many conversations about it. After reading all your (and Kelly's) post and tweets, I called him and told him that I would like to talk about it again tonight. Think now is the time.

Praying for yall while you are on the trip!

Oh, and thanks for the DM on twitter. Made me smile!

That was beautiful! My sister got to meet the children that she sponsors this summer and was able to get it on video for us to watch. But seeing your children get to experience "meeting" her was incredible. I am teary eyed!

Oh, that was awesome! What a cool way for your kids to meet their sponsored sister! I have to go blow my nose now... We'd love to meet our sponsored kids one day.

That was VERY cool! I have been following you, Kelly, and Shawn these past few days and I am trying to figure out a way to squeeze $38/month to sponsor a child. I'm currently unemployeed and a single mom, butI will find a way! I have been SO blessed by reading and watching y'all stories. God bless!

Heather,
You and my BFF Molly have made child sponsorship real to me. Thank you: http://chaosymphony.blogspot.com/2009/11/welcome-to-our-family-carlos.html

Also, I watched your adoption video today and it awoke in me something I've long forgotten. My desire for adoption has been rekindled because of your story.

And I have a new favorite blog.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
(and please hug Molly for me!)

[Rebecca]

Totally crying! What a beautiful experience orchestrated by none other than our Lord Jesus! Hallelujah, Amen!

Prayers and blessings on your trip,
Rebecca

I think she fits just fine as a member of our family. I'm so proud of you Heather, you are doing such a wonderful work. Your family misses you, but they understand that this is important for you. You do a great job at including them in this mission. Can't wait to see you all.
