Thank You...
...to God, our heavenly Father, for all Your great blessings...for our wonderful friends, family, even strangers that have and are lifting our family and adoption up in their prayers, many who we may never know, but have bestowed the greatest gift on us...for those who have mentored us in our lives: teachers, accountability partners, friends, and fellow adoptive families that have enriched our lives and provided a path that is much more colorful and smooth than one we would have to traverse alone...to all those who have actively supported our adoption through signing forms, taking pictures, writing letters, mentoring us through the steps, donating yard sale items, buying coffee, buying cakes, and just speaking an encouraging word...to all of you we offer our humblest thanks!
The Ragsdale Family
