We all effect salvation for one another, and the family particularly so. Adoption is just another way to grow the family :) a little larger family, perhaps, when birth families are included, but beautifully grown, nonetheless.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374996142473482343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683125223100303921.post-40772413961992221842010-10-26T21:28:06.502-04:002010-10-26T21:28:06.502-04:00Yes, the photos a magnificent ;-) Very well put.
