I am very blessed to have a loving husband and 4 wonderful boys whom I treasure. I am blessed to have a job that I really enjoy. My job allows me to stay at home with my boys. I am thankful that I am an adoptee and that my life path has led me here. There are issues with being an adoptee, but I am guessing that everyone in life has some issues. I don’t “need” to blog to get feelings out. My husband gets that job. The truth is that I enjoy blogging. I miss writing and using my brain and having a blog has given me the chance to write about things that don’t revolve around my family. I enjoy getting feedback on my thoughts. I really enjoy reading others’ perspectives on adoption – good and bad. I think it is important to listen and learn from everyone’s experiences. So I will blog. Those entries that I don’t want published to the entire world will be password protected. Feel free to email me to ask for a password. Please let me know how your life is touched by adoption. If you have commented on my blog before then it is a pretty good bet that you will be given the password. Happy blogging!
P.S. Does anyone know how to add a Request a Password section?

I’m an adoptee. I’ve been through a long journey in that regard. I met my birthmother when I was twenty, twenty-seven years ago. It’s been quite a roller coaster ride. During some periods I’ve felt very connected to her, and at other times very connected to my adoptive parents, and sometimes both and sometimes neither. I’ve learned a lot about what family means. It’s been a trip. Being adopted has been at the core of my identity. I just moved to WordPress and I’m trying to figure out the password stuff, too!

Hi. I found your site from a link at kim’s blog. I don’t recall if I visited you before. I am an adoptive mother. My daughter is seven and is just beginning to talk and share emotions about adoption. I am interested in listening to a variety of experiences, primarily to gain insight into what my daughter may be going through so I can support her in integrating her entire life into a healthy self image. I have a blog that records my thoughts and conversations with her that I have listed above. I would like to have a password as the little blurb you wrote that is visible sounds well written and I would like to hear more about your experience and perspective on adoption.
