Wow. I can't believe the subjects that come out of a quilting board. I also adopted after having thyroid cancer 33 years ago. I already had two daughters who were 3 and 5 when the cancer was discovered. Since I wanted a larger family, I decided with my husband's approval to adopt. We ended up adopting a little girl from Korea whose older sister became available for adoption 2 years later. I separated from my husband 6 years after the second adoption.
