The Poop Hits the Fan
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2007. I got a call from our attorney this morning. She basically told me that she and the county’s attorney are worried that there is a chance that Jafta could be returned to his birthmom. She wanted to shoot straight with me and wants us to be prepared for this possibility. The next court date is June 26th, and it is likely that the birthmom’s attorney will call for a contested trial which will drag this out for a very long time and . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Harley & Russell
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .
On kids, gun, fear, and why I didn’t march
I enjoyed seeing so many of my friends at the march on Saturday. What a heartening response to the ongoing crisis of gun violence in our country. .I wanted to march as well, but ultimately decided to sit this one out. I had my kids that day. And while I’ve loved taking my kids on marches in the past, I was concerned about having them participate in this one. I have struggled with generalized anxiety disorder my whole life. It means that my brain obsesses over possible negative outcomes every . . .

Will This Child Be Mine? The Ugly Side of Adoption Uncertainty
On Thursday's I post from the vault. This post is from December 2007 I was recently reading the blog of another woman adopting from Haiti, and she was describing what it was like to find out she could not adopt a child she was caring for. She described that experience in a painful, honest way that gave me a serious gut check: When we had Sophia with us in May and June, an interesting thing happened.Once we learned that she would not ever be available for adoption it became harder to take . . .
