adopting a child

A friend just adopted a young child, a pre-schooler, from abroad. The child is very cute and seems to be picking up Hebrew easily. She told me that she had started the process many years ago, but things kept interfering. That includes a marriage gone bad and an illness, that G-d willing won't return.

Being that I have a nice number of, bli eyin hara, childrena and am still married to the same man, and I'm over ten years older than this friend, I've never been in a situation in which I felt the need to adopt. Thank G-d.

I wish my friend luck, patience and good health.
