March 5, 2013 at 11:07 am Posted in AdoptThis! Tags: adoption openadoption birthfathers "open adoption". I’m taking part in the first Open Adoption Roundtable Book Club. So, pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of wine, and bring on the cheese and crackers. I’m partial to Truffle Tremor. And a bottle of pinot noir…. The book we read for this book club was Megan’s Birthday Tree. People who were less slackerish than I submitted some excellent discussion questions for the book club:. Much of the strength ...

Nervous(ish) | Artificially Sweetened

July 28, 2013 at 11:14 pm Posted in AdoptThis! In just a few days we will be headed off across the country to visit Posy’s birthfamily – the whole kit and kaboodle of them. My introvert self is anxious about all sorts of things – the lack of privacy (we are staying with them – C. said there was “no way you’re staying in a damn hotel! I am genuinely glad to be seeing them and so excited to share this awesome little person that Posy has become over the past year. But also, really effing nervous. Address ne...

Apparently, it’s my month. November 21, 2013 at 11:55 pm Posted in AdoptThis! November is both Diabetes Awareness Month and Adoption Awareness Month. In other news, it’s sort of sad when you get excited because there are two more comments on your blog, and then realize that you left those comments in response to someone else. 3 Comments ».

Posy’s Story: Part II – The Hard Part. March 17, 2013 at 10:06 pm Posted in AdoptThis! Tags: adoption openadoption birthfathers "open adoption". I hesitate to tell this story and put it out there, and yet I feel sort of obligated to do so. Obligated to whom, I’m not sure – the handful of people who read this blog? Suffice it to say that he had lots of opportunities to show his interest in her, and aside from the legal proceedings, he didn’t. Finally, shortly before the judge was going to make his decisio...

Open Adoption Roundtable: Time | Artificially Sweetened
https://artsweet.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/open-adoption-roundtable-time
Open Adoption Roundtable: Time. March 16, 2013 at 4:30 pm Posted in AdoptThis! The prompt for this Open Adoption Roundtable was very simple and open-ended:. Write about open adoption and time. My day is made up of moments like these: Posy fighting nap for 45 minutes until I decide I’m just going to take her to the grocery store with me – only to come back upstairs from putting my shoes on and find her fast asleep, clutching her binky. So mundane, and yet so precious. 1 Comment ». All the best,. Address n...

Father’s Day | Artificially Sweetened

June 18, 2013 at 10:19 pm Posted in AdoptThis! This is sort of a belated response to the Open Adoption Bloggers Roundtable #49. But I wonder a lot about my kids’ fathers. We met Posy’s father at the trial. He struck me as essentially a good, if somewhat hapless guy. I think he fought for Posy because he was very invested in the idea of himself as a father, even though he wasn’t doing a very good job of. 4 Comments ».
