I am thankful for my family, my friends, my home and my food!
I am thankful for the health and happiness of my family!
I am thankful for my two happy, well adjusted kiddos from China. I was just reading one comment where the parent just realized they "have less time left at home with our oldest child than we have already had". We were doing the opposite time-tracking thought-- our oldest daughter (from Maoming, China) is almost 5; in July, we passed that point in time where she has now lived with us longer than she lived in an orphanage. We brought our son home from Guilin, China a few months ago; he's 3-1/2, so he won't reach that 'equalization point' until he's 7 years old. Amazing how crazy fast they adapt though, and how little time it takes before it feels as if they've been with you since birth. We almost can't remember our life before kids, and for that, we are thankful - because THIS life is so much more joyous and fulfilling!
I am thankful that it smells like home made pumpkin pie in my house, and that my kids are warm in their beds, and that my dog is asleep at my feet. I am thankful that I have a family that loves me. And that God loves me.
I am thankful that my son lived through the night. We are truly blessed

On this Thanksgiving day I am thankful that I am so blessed with my family and that God is bringing another little precious one into our family.
I am thankful for the safe arrival of my brother and his family...though we live only 6 hours apart we don't see each other enough. Now our house is filled with the screams and giggles of cousins having fun and parents plotting turkey cooking and Black Friday shopping strategies.
My four beautiful children who started their lives in China and Russia. What a miracle that a single woman could be so blessed!
I am thankful my sister is in China adopting her second daughter and that they will be home in a week!

I am so thankful for my nine beautiful children, four of whom were waiting for me half way around the world. Each of them are unique and wonderful. I am thankful that I can homeschool my children in freedom, at least for the present time! I am thankful for the $1 value menu at Wendy's and Burger King.

I am thankful for all the wonderful people I have met through international adoption.

Thankful that December is just around the corner. After that comes 2010, in which year I hope to be even more thankful than I was this year - although this year has been extremely wonderful. Next year our son comes home!
I am thankful for the moments when I feel like I'm more than just treading water. They are sometimes few and far between, but they are so worth it.
Bless you for doing this!
