Jeanne,

I don't think you are out of your mind. I think you are an angel!

Can you imagine what this special boy's life would be like w/out

someone who actually chose him knowing what they are getting

themselves into? Or in any other foster home where he may not get the

proper care? Do what your heart leads you to do. If that's adopting

him cf adn all then I say wonderful! I won't say it's not hard but

it's made Wyatt so special to me in so many other ways. Good luck and

love, Christy
