hi Lea I have considered adoption too. I like the idea... or did when I was growing up. Now I have 80 kids so it balances out. anyways, It is hard to explain to an adoption agency because most bblind people don't know how to do something until we are actually placed in that situation. Let me start with this question: how old of a child are you talking about? If you'd like to talk to me about this because I have given this a lot of thought myself email me off list and maybe we can exchange phone numbers? I'm happy to help in anyy way I can.
