With November being National Adoption Month, it always makes my thoughts turn to my precious girls, P1 and P3.  As most of you know, they both became part of our family via adoption.  While our families have been nothing but supportive, (especially my Mom) from the time we first announced we were adopting to the time each precious girl was placed in our arms, we know that is not always the case.  People can be funny about adoptions and I think that is usually because of some misconceptions and unfounded ...]]></description>

Did you know November is National Adoption Month? The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Children’s Bureau is partnering with AdoptUSKids and the Ad Council to educate potential adoptive parents on the benefits of adoption from foster care.
According to the U.S. Children’s Bureau Preliminary 2010 Trends in Foster Care Report, there are more than 408,000 children in the foster care system in the United States; 115,000 of these children are available for adoption right now.  These kids need good homes!

CONGRATULATIONS GO TO William McKinnley #6 and Christal C #12!!!!
In Adam Pertman’s newly-revised book, Adoption Nation, he  explores the enormous changes taking place in U.S. adoption and across  the world from his unique and multi-faceted perspective: that of adult  adoptee, adoptive parent, Executive Director of the Evan B. Donaldson  Adoption Institute and adoption advocate.  As I can personally relate to several of these and more, I was most intrigued to find out what his book had to say.
Broken up into 3 large units with several chapters contained ...]]></description>

Water.
When you have plenty of it, you think nothing of it.
When you have very little or almost none of it, you think of nothing but.
The one thing every human must have to survive &#8211; pure, clean water.
The United Nations&#8217; (UN) World Water Day is held on March 22 each year.  Events are organized on or around this day to increase people&#8217;s  awareness of water&#8217;s importance in environment, agriculture, health and  trade.
This has hit home to me since returning home from China with P3.  Many of the orphanages ...]]></description>
