[HFSWaitingChild] You have to love those boys!

Hi Friends,I really don't have much time to post and be on the group like I used to (our third little one came home less than 3 months ago), but I just had to comment on boys!We are the proud parents to 4 beautiful boys. Two of them were created in my womb, and two were created in my heart. Our Kai, who is just the light of our lives, is from HFS's QT4 list. He had a severe cleft palate and a repaired cleft lip. When we first received Kai we had no idea of the true severity of his cleft palate. But, I have to say that we would do it over again in a heartbeat, a million times over, to bring him home. He is so filled with joy, love and humbleness. He makes it difficult not to smile by just looking at him. He adores his baby brother and his new sister, and thinks the world of his older siblings. He is very protective of his younger siblings. It is so sweet to see. And of course, his Mama and "Dada" are the center of his life and he is the center of ours. Kai has changed my life completely and made me such a better person. I have learned so much more from him than what I have taught him. PLEASE...consider one of the beautiful boys on the list. We are pretty much finished with the adoption scenario since we've added 3 babies to our life in the past 1.5 years, but if God ever put us on that path again, there's no doubt that we'd be on the lookout for another little guy. Boys are always Mama's babies. I love my girls with every fiber of my being, but there is something so very special about the relationship between a son and his mother.These children are in such dire need of love and a family and will give it willingly and unconditionally once the realize that you are there...forever. Every child is entitled to that love, not only the little girls. We are often told how lucky are children are. But oh, how I wish I can make people understand that WE are the lucky ones.
