So maybe a few of you remember that I am a huge West Wing fan, which, sad to say, ended last night after seven years. Sigh. Are any of you TV show addicts out there? What do you look for in a series finale when it is time to say goodbye? Do you want all the loose ends tied up or should there be room to continue the story lines in our heads? West Wing was my one TV love for the past seven years - with my schedule (and because I'm a such news junkie as it is) I really only have time in my week for one show. West Wing ended with some of it's loose ends tied up, many implied or alluded to, and many, many, many left up in the air.

Life itself is very much like this. Some times we find the answers we are looking for; other times, a different answer. Sometimes we realize that the question itself isn't right. And sometimes the path is never found, and we leave this earth with much unresolved.

My daughter has all this and more in store for her as she grows up. Will she find her birth mother? Will she even want to search? Will her birth mother accept us as her parents? Does she even think about Anna? Is she alive? How will Anna deal with racial issues as she grows up? Religious issues? Will she share the same connection with Israel that I feel so strongly?

Will she be happy and fulfilled in her life? Will we have done the best for her that we could have?

Everyone's life is a TV show finale. We try, we put our effort, heart and soul into it for a long time. But at the end of the day.....who knows?
