A Little Haiti on Balboa | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from September 2008.

October 18, 2018

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 . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Evan

October 17, 2018

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 . . .

Life Lately

  View this post on Instagram   It would appear that @indiahowerton shares my enthusiasm for karaoke. ?? Lest you think India’s donut wall creation was completely benevolent, she had grand plans to repurpose it for her own party. Thanks @duckdonuts for the perfect donuts for our wall! #TBT to that time I got the girls to play a sport. And that’s a wrap on Kembe’s 12th birthday . . .

How to help teens deal with problem skin

October 12, 2018

This post is sponsored by CHOC Children’s The teen years can be difficult. From social issues to heartbreaks to school stress, it’s a lot to handle. And then you add the roller-coaster of shifting hormones . . . it’s no wonder teens can struggle with self-esteem.

October 11, 2018

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2008.   Most women who have any sort of fertility issues have heard this statement before: "Just adopt, and then you'll get pregnant." I get this one a lot. Especially since it pretty much happened that way. And now here we are, adopting and expecting again, too. So I get why people say it. It's one of those things people just kind of say. A conversation piece, I guess. Now, if you are reading . . .
