"Why did I get adopted, but my sister didn't?" - Adoptive Mama
http://www.adoptivemama.com/bloggity-blog/why-did-i-get-adopted-but-my-sister-didnt
Why did I get adopted, but my sister didn't? Mom is Aubrey adopted? We had been in the car for maybe three minutes when he asked it. We have an open adoption and we love spending time with his birth family. We had just picked up his half-sister Aubrey for a sleepover. No, Aubrey is not adopted honey," I replied with hesitation. I knew where this was headed and it was gonna be ugly. "Why is she not adopted and I am? Insert heavy sigh from me). Well, honey, her mom.err.your mom.uhh.your. I hate you.".

Today we PLAY! - Adoptive Mama
http://www.adoptivemama.com/bloggity-blog/today-we-play
I got to spend the morning at the park with this little pumpkin. The park is where I head when I feel grateful, like.really grateful. I say "forget the laundry, the pile of dishes, the emails that need returned, lets go play.". A few years ago, a tornado ripped through a town nearby and a mother lost her two baby boys in an instant. I didn't know them personally, but my heart was broken for them. So we headed to the park.

Where have you been?? - Adoptive Mama
http://www.adoptivemama.com/bloggity-blog/where-have-you-been
Where have you been? Someone once told me going from 2 kids to 3 kids is no big deal. Once we got past colic, we had growth spurts, teething, and some other unknown cause that made our tiny button wake up screaming his head off 3-4 times a night. He was 11 months old before he slept through the night. Eleven months old. Sosleep depravation. That's where I've been. But I'm back now. With one year of opinions, thoughts, and.

Whats Mine Is Yours. Get some tissues ready, and then watch this absolutely beautiful song written about adoption and loss.

Weeee!!! Now there's THREE! - Adoptive Mama
http://www.adoptivemama.com/bloggity-blog/weeee-now-theres-three
For three weeks now, I have had blog posts running through my head, only to be pushed aside by the minute-by-minute parenting needs that are happening right now. My last blog post was 1/28. The very next day, our world got rocked. Until the conversation went this way.(her speaking) "So, I have some big news for you.". Her: "Your profile has been chosen by a birthmother today.". Her: "Yes, mother is doing fine and he's doing great too.". AND HE'S ALREADY BEEN BORN! Me: "OHMYGOSH WHERE ARE YOU? I looked up...

http://www.adoptivemama.com/bloggity-blog/im-not-a-racist-but
I'm Not A Racist, But. If you live anywhere in America right now, you've heard about the incident with the SAE fraternity at the University of Oklahoma and their racist chant. It seems everyone has an opinion on what should happen to these boys who were spewing hatred and evil in the form of a catchy little tune. Some say they should be free to exercise their freedom of speech. Some say they should be expelled. Some say they were just idiots and we should let it go. Luckily, I grew up and set those archa...
