Wednesday’s Child: Alyssa
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 . . .

From skate gear to formal wear: how my teen boys clean up with style
This post is sponsored by Mirum in partnership with AXE and Walmart. I love the social skills my boys learn in cotillion. But formal interactions and dancing with girls, as well as getting dressed up in formal-wear, can be intimidating for a tween. And shifting gears from dropping in on the half-pipe to learning the fox-trot can make any kid anxious. How do I help my boys go from skate-mode to gentleman-mode with style? Axe makes it easy with products and scents that make them . . .

What’s Taking So Long in Haiti? || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2008. People are always asking me why our adoption is taking so long. It is such a hard question to answer. How do you explain the insanity of Haiti adoption? It's a place with absolutely no infrastructure, poor communication, every-changing rules, and absurd corruption. The hoops for completing a legal adoption are almost laughable. Except you've been waiting too long to laugh. Our orphange director John was writing about one . . .

A Little Haiti on Balboa | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from September 2008.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from September 2008. Last night we had the pleasure of getting together with several other families adopting from Haiti for a beach bonfire. It's always so fun to hang out with other adoptive parents. For one, it's nice to just get together and chat with people who know all the dirty details about the Haitian adoption process. We mulled over the changes in IBESER, the Gassant firing, the 1974 law, the mess in Parquet, the timing of MOI, how . . .
