Hey! I did receive your "Thank-you" email and I really appreciate you keeping me up to date with everything. I agree that the Make the Difference Network does great work, but they only achieve so much success through caring organizations like yours. I'm happy that I could contribute towards such a great cause and I wish Ryan, as well as other children, the best of luck. Keep up the wonderful work your doing.

What I wouldn't do to adopt one of your children in need... we are not in a position to, financially, right now... we have three autistic children (not adopted ;o) and they are my world... the dogs I rescue are my sanity...

I fully support your cause and thank you for joining our network of friends.

Every child deserves a permanent family and resources should never be an excuse from keeping a child from this right.
