wildthing,
Sometimes choices can be dificult ones to make but best for all. I'm sure you made the right decision for the welfare of your children. The unconditional love that you must have knowing they could have a better life with a mother and father. You are a saint!
I adopted a child from Kiev, Ukraine. He was 14 months old at the time. He is now 8 (turning 9 in may). My wife and I have tried everything we could do to find his parents. I would love for them to know how he's doing and to see pictures. it would be nice to have an open adoption with them. I have names and the region where they lived but with language and being so far away, it's dificult.
Not being able to have kids, this has brought so much joy to my home.
Bless you!
