to the moon and back : The Grinch in Me

http://tothemoonandbackforemme.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-grinch-in-me.html

To the moon and back. Sunday, March 2, 2014. The Grinch in Me. Left to learn in this regard. It is difficult to express the incredible helplessness and pain associated with knowing and loving your child while simultaneously being totally blocked from demonstrating that love directly. It makes you kinda insane (my kids can attest to this). Ok, a lot insane. So, instead, I choose to sit with that pain and loss. To hold it close until I can hold her close. To befriend it and welcome it. 10/11/13 Move to Gla...

to the moon and back : Confessions of a Duck

http://tothemoonandbackforemme.blogspot.com/2013/06/confessions-of-duck.html

To the moon and back. Thursday, June 20, 2013. Confessions of a Duck. Today, I am just so very sad. I am so sad that our baby girl doesn't yet know how wanted she is. I am devastated that her birth mother suffers along with me, faced with the unbearable reality of losing her child. I am heartbroken that there are so many days and months that stand between our girl and her knowing the love we all have for her. Today is so hard. My dear mom always reminds us that during trials, we need to remember the duck...

to the moon and back : Why Adopt?

http://tothemoonandbackforemme.blogspot.com/2013/04/why-adopt.html

To the moon and back. Monday, April 1, 2013. Gavin 13, Luke 7, Sophia 5. Three beautiful, thriving, healthy children. Why tempt fate? Why complicate life with adoption? A simple answer: Because we are called. Here is the story of how adoption became part of our family's path, or how we came to understand this calling as our own. When Luke was born, it was a brand new experience, sharing the immediate joy of bringing new life into this world. Michael and I were madly in love with the gorgeous, olive s...

to the moon and back : Meeting Emme's Homeland

http://tothemoonandbackforemme.blogspot.com/2014/03/meeting-emmes-homeland.html

To the moon and back. Friday, March 28, 2014. After a 15.5 hour flight from Newark to Hong Kong, and a connecting flight from Hong Kong to Beijing, we are here and in great spirits. Our first day in Emme's homeland was quite a success. We landed in Beijing around 11am and our wonderful guide (who has met Emme! 1) it is LOUD-loud talking, loud honking, loud everything. 2) children are revered and catered to. 3) personal space is non-existent. 4) Chinese take much pride in their country and history. 1/5/13...
