Sisters Forever
Lisa
received an unexpected phone call in October. “We know you’re only interested
in school age children, but would you be interested in a 16-month-old
girl?”
They
needed an answer immediately. I was out of town on business when Lisa called.
Without hesitation or deep discussion, we agreed that we were interested. I was
still out of town the next night when Lisa called and asked me, “Where can I
find a hammer?”
Lisa
needed the hammer to build our crib, just in case we were chosen as the family
for this little girl. Instead of saying, “You don’t need a hammer to build the
crib,” I told Lisa where to find a hammer. I also figured we had zero chance of
getting the girl.
