A little Lithuanian orphan stole her heart

A positive adoption story on this beautiful Sunday after a stormy Saturday. This lady is an acquaintance and one I would like to know better so I can say "friend." A good story with a few inaccurate terms describing adoption but all in all a good story. Good for Mom...Good for child. It will not be without bumps in the road but that is parenthood. There are no "unwanted" children...all children are wanted by someone.

Forty-nine years old and divorced, the Nashvillian had already lost two children. One was stillborn, and her oldest son died in Iraq. Her remaining son is 20 and about to leave the nest.As the director of Bethany Christian Services' Nashville branch, Bass has helped many families find fulfillment through adoption, but it wasn't until this year that she was able to fill her own yearning for another child. Bass adopted Greta in February.
