"If I had a million dollars..."

Last night Dave and I were watching one of our favorite shows, The Biggest Loser. Seriously, this show yanks on my tear jerkers big time. Half the time I'm watching it, I'm holding back the floodgates.

 Anyway, during the last challenge (running a marathon), when the contestants completed the 26.? mile run, they were awarded with a check for $10,000 to give to the charity of their choice. I asked Dave, "If you had to give 10K to a charity today, who would you give it to?" We talked about it for a few minutes and couldn't decide. Then, I had an idea-if I had ten grand to donate, I would send it to the orphanage that our future son is going to come from.  

We don't know who is he at this point, and what his birth mother will be going through in the next few months. If possible, I would do everything I could to make sure she has good medical access, emotional support and counseling as she makes the decision to relinquish her rights. Whoever you are, dear birth mother, please know that Dave and I are praying for you and want the best for your life. We promise to take care of our little boy each day of his life. Although I don't have the money to donate (I should go on the BL and get it!), I will do everything I can to support you in other ways.
