Other: We are anxious to receive our adoptive children. I was caught in a motoring accident a year after our marriage, and it crippled me from the waist and under, due to nerve damage. Now it is impossible for me to have biological children, but Taddeo and I have discussed this and we decided to adopt two boys instead. We promise a loving home for these children, if nothing else.
