http://newflowerblooms.blogspot.com/2009/04/just-facts-for-now.html

So US/UK: Please consider issuing Madonna a Notice of Intent to Deny if this child does not meet the requirements for international adoption. But it doesn't provide an adequate argument for raising funds for one particular "illustrative" child to be bought...

A New Flower Blooms. Now and ever after. Friday, April 03, 2009. Despite all my present whining (where are the pictures? Why is it raining?

http://newflowerblooms.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

A New Flower Blooms. Now and ever after. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. The problem with loving so many people is that everything is personal. Maybe leaders of nations should have their children and brothers and cousins in Baghdad, in Tel Aviv, in Gaza, in nuclear-capable India or Pakistan. We have loved ones in three embattled zones right now, one reassures. Me that he is thirty minutes from the bombing. This is not reassuring to me. Monday, December 29, 2008. GOP's still not for POC.

A New Flower Blooms. Now and ever after. Monday, September 29, 2008. Lots of people still ask me how to answer the hard questions? How to respond to the uncomfortable comments? I'll let you in on my son's strategy:. Little Bun, when asked "Is your sister adopted? Or "Is that your real sister? Has taken to clamping his lips shut and performing a Greek dance - the first time he did it, he said it was the fastest distraction. Later, he could just remember having done it the first time.
