I have written a memoir of my experiences adopting my two girls, but I find that I still occasionally have more to say on the subject. More importantly, I find that so many people have questions about the hows and whys of adoption, and sometimes they're shy or self-conscious about asking. This blog seems like as good a place as any to answer questions and talk about what it's like to be the mother of two beautiful Ethiopian girls.
I hope the many links I've provided will be helpful to anyone who is curious about adoption, Ethiopia, or writing. Also check out the Favorites section where I've linked to people I think are brilliant, talented, funny, informative, helpful, or all of the above.
My family got wonderful, long-awaited news this week. On Monday, January 14, my brother returned home after 15 months in Iraq with the Army's 1st Cavalry Division. We are so proud of him, and so thankful to have him home safely. My heart goes out to all of the families who are still waiting for that day when their soldier comes home. And of course even moreso to those who have lost someone, or whose soldier has been injured in the line of duty.
Another cool piece of family news is that my stepfather wrote a book that is being released this week in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday. The book is King: Pilgrimage to the Mountaintop. I am so proud to be related to the author of this book. Check it out!
Ciao.
