We will be traveling to Africa very soon to get our son.  I’m so proud of what my daughter has done to raise money so that we can help out the orphanage when we get there.  The generosity I have seen has been amazing.  Check out her blog at www.MyJourneyToAfrica.com and if you would like to help her make some children very happy, click the “make a donation” button.  Thank you!
