Wednesday’s Child – Kristian
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 . . .
Someone’s gonna lose | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009. I've been a mother to three small ones for six weeks now. This week, I seem to have kind of hit a wall. I'm so, so tired, The adrenaline has worn off, and the energy is waning. But the part that is really most frustrating to me is how little I am able to get done right now. For a type-A mama, ending the day with just as many items on the to-do list as I started with is NOT a great feeling. I'd been advised by lots of . . .

Poop In A Box | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from May 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from May 2009. Who doesn’t love a mystery story? (People eating their lunch right now, that’s who. Blatant crap talk to follow. If you are squeamish, go look at this instead). Yesterday when I went to retrieve India from her nap I noticed a strong odor eminating from her room. It was poop, to be sure, but the smell was just a bit more permeating than usual. I also noticed immediately that she was wearing a swim diaper under her dress . . .
What would you do? (a poll) | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from June 2009 Sometimes motherhood throws me into situations where there is no clear-cut answer, and where I am left choosing between the lesser of two evils. I ran into one of those situations today, and I'm curious to know what other moms would have done. So, WWYD? Here's the scenario: You need to run into a major grocery store chain for milk, and you have three kids in tow (one of them a newborn in an infant seat). You spot the fancy . . .

Adoption Delays | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from May 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from May 2009. We are running into more delays with Haiti. This one really felt like a punch to the gut. I'm not sure why - by this point I should be more prepared for the insanity that is adoption from Haiti. The only thing that is predictable in this process is that nothing goes smoothly. We are now almost two years into this process. When we first started out, I thought Keanan would certainly be home by now. I had his name . . .
Why it matters | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from May 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from May 2009. This brought tears to my eyes the minute I saw it. A young boy visiting the White House asks to touch the president's hair to see if it felt the same as his. I have heard some cynical people balk at the big deal some made of having our first Black president. This picture illustrates why it is a big deal for some. When my son pretends to be a prince but then says he can't because his hair is "not like a prince's hair", or . . .
