To all my blog friends, everyday friends, and far away friends,
I made the heart-wrenching decision last night to take down my adoption blog story for now.
I do want to make it very clear that I've truly enjoyed all the friendships I've made through this blog, and am extrememly grateful for the adoptive families, CHIers and my agency who followed me on this journey over the last two years and cheered me on along the way. There were times it was the comments and the crossposts and the empathy that got me through. I will continue to watch as the rest of my friends are finally joined with your children and will be celebrating with you in my heart.
Adoption is a wonderful thing. Anyone who is pondering this choice, or considering using our agency, please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. I am happy to help.
Our adoption from China was a life changing journey that not everyone gets to experience. We are very blessed with a beautiful daughter. I feel fortunate that I was led down this path by some greater power in my life.
Take care!

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story. I will miss your post. I wish your family the best of luck and all life has to offer! :) You only solidified my want to adot with CHI. Thank you!
You have a very beautiful family. I understand...I'm thinking of stopping too. God bless you in all you do! Thank you for sharing!
I will miss reading your blog! Good luck to you!
Leda...Let us know how the fires are affecting you. If you need anything, please let me know. My uncle is fighting those fires right now in SD!! You're in my prayers!s
I'll miss your updates. I loved seeing the progress you've made and all the beautiful pics of your family. Thanks for sharing it as long as you did. Take care.
I will miss you and your great family.
All the best!
Leda, I hope you will email once a year or so. I have your quilt square and wish, to remember you by, at least! You are a very supportive rock to many of us and I especially will miss following your journey onward! God Bless you and your kickin family!! And Thanks for sharing!
Always, sharon
Leda, I was checking your blog today, to see if you are ok in California, with all those forest fires! So terrible.
I will greatly miss following your familiy's story. You are an inspiration to me, while I am still waiting for my LID of Apr 11, 2006 to bring our 2nd daughter home.
However, I respect your decision to be more private. There is a time and place for everything. You are truly blessed to have lovely Kaylee join your family and your two boys are great too. I hope Todd is safe and will be home again soon.
I am inspired to complete the digital scrapbook pages that you do, but I never seem to be able to start.
Take care, and thanks for our brief connection online.

I will miss reading the updates about your wonderful family but understand completely that you must do what is best for you! All the best to you, your hubby and your awesome children! You are a great mom and it was wonderful to see you raising your children.
Blessings, Catherine
Leda,
I will defintely miss your blogging and your scrapbooking! (you are one awesome digital scrapper) I totally understand though. I've been considering leaving the bloggysphere myself.
Best of luck to you and your family!

Leda,
Take care of you and yours first, you're a mom, that's your job. Filling the rest of us in was just a sideline that we all enjoyed. The beauty of your blog and the words you wrote were an inspiration to us all. Stop in and see our blog & drop us a line whenever you can and maybe someday we'll meet at a CHI reunion.

Leda!
I will miss you. You have been around since the VERY beginning of everything regarding this adoption and there will be a "hole" out there without you. I would love to stay in touch... esp. to share when Zoey comes. I've enjoyed our time online...and hope you and your family are doing well. Maybe we will meet one of these days at a CHI reunion (like Heather said!)

Leda -- I just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed your blog. It was so wonderful to watch the other children from Alana's waiting child list come home. You have a beautiful family and it was a blessing to see your newest member join and complete your family.

So sorry to hear that this is your last post. We have both really enjoyed following your journey as a family. You have amazing children and I will never forget how your son welcomed your daughter into your family. It still brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing everything that you have and we wish you all the very best - and maybe a few less broken bones in your future!!!!!
I am going to missing you.And thank you so much for your sharing!You have such a blessed family and it will always be!
Leda... I can understand you wanting to 'close down' and have a life I have always considered you a friend - don't be a stranger... drop by my site or drop a line anytime - besides, you have to wait until I get my Shauna...:) Take care and love to all of you... Fliss - will miss you though...
Wishing you all the best....a family life filled with love and happiness! ;)
Leda,
I have enjoyed following your blog and the great pictures. Good luck to you and your family. I wish you the very best.
All the best to your family. Enjoy the moments!
I wanted to stop by and wish you Merry Christmas and I hope the New Year has lots of great things in store for you! Miss your blog. Happy Holidays! Stephe
