Sitting here watching a documentary about Chinese adoptions.

It follows an American woman and her family who have adopted a 9 year old girl from China.

The woman is Donna.

My HS girlfriend.

Donna was my first true love and the girl I was going to marry against her fathers wishes.

Marty, Donnas father, and I got along just great while Donna and I were friends but as soon as we became an item it was on. He even trained the family dog to sit next to me and bark at me incessantly the entire time I was in the house.

She became estranged from her family because of me but in the end family won out as I guess it should.

She has two sons with her husband and adopted an infant from China previously.

Before they adopted the infant I was talking to her husband who is a few years older than us and he mentioned that Donna was making noise about another baby. Told him he was nuts. I had my two kids later in life and it kicked my ass.

I'm proud of Donna, she's a wonderful person and her husband Geoff is a saint but at the same time feel like I dodged a bullet.
