What’s wrong with adoption, anyway?

I seem to have unintentionally taken a break from writing about adoption. I’ve started to several times as there have been some wonderful posts around the adoption blogosphere specifically about what we regular folks can do to make things better. I will list some of those at the end of this post. But I didn’t [...]

The Drama of it All

I think I’ve mentioned before that B has a flare for the dramatic. The last couple of days have been such. I suppose it’s not all that much compared to some folks, but this has been our drama the last couple of days. In order to get B signed up for swimming, I had to [...]

My Deserted Website

I have this domain: http://www.journeytomom.net. I started this website for a web design class I took from an individual on eBay. I had a hard time coming up with a purpose for the site so I could get on with the class. I finally went with a site dedicated to the passions of my heart: infertility, adoption, [...]

New Mercies

This post was meant for this morning, but it turned into one of those non-stop kind of days. So, feeling rather discouraged after last night’s post, I went to The Word from my Father and was encouraged by Him. The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made. The [...]

Found a New Blog

Well, actually, I didn’t find it myself. Nicole (Paragraphein) featured it on her blog, who I think found it through mom2one (another one I need to add to my list). Seriously? is another adoptive mom writing about adoption ethics. You really must go read her story. One post tells of a “failed” placement, and another tells the [...]

One of those Weeks

This has been another PMS week. I actually started crying yesterday when my husband called to tell me something would take effect that we had already discussed. Poor thing, he headed home as soon as he was released to make sure I was alright. I mention that here in case anyone else is struggling with [...]
