I don't read very many blogs, but I did happen across a blog belonging to a christian adoptive mom and had a lot of fun reading some of her posts. It is amazing how much we can learn from other people's experiences. Hi Tiana, I would love to have some of the blog addresses.

They share their experiences and talk about the difficulties and the great times. And they have links to other friends who are adoptive moms and have blogs, so you could just keep reading forever. It's very addicting. Most of the ones I've read tend to be about transracial adoption- I don't know if that's something you guys are interested in or not. But a lot of the issues are just about adoption in general. Anyway, it's really fun to go adoption blog surfing, so if you're ever interested and want to get sucked in, I can pass on some blog addresses!

So I thought, "Hey! Don't skip Thanksgiving!" And thus we have the Thanksgiving theme.

There are so many children in the world that need loving families. Brance and I are just starting to look into the process ourselves.
