I&#8217;ve been neglecting this website for way too long.  I really am proud of this site full of my articles which people have found helpful in their adoption journey.  So why no new material? It&#8217;s not as if I don&#8217;t have anything to write about. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other week, I was in a medical appointment and making small talk with the nurse.  I happened to mention that I was coaching my daughter’s soccer team.  Later in the appointment, while giving her my medical history, I told the nurse that I endured through three years of fertility treatments.  Remembering [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over my years in the adoption field, I have heard one consistent fear from prospective adoptive parents of domestic children. They are afraid that their adopted child will one day want to leave them and move in with their biological family. With open adoptions becoming more common, adoptive children know enough about their biological parents, [...]]]></description>

I wasn&#8217;t sure if I wanted to read yet another fictional book about adoption.  Some of the recent portrayals I&#8217;ve looked into have seemed overly dramatic in order to make for a good story line.  However, a friend who has been part of my support system through my three adoptions read this book [...]]]></description>

“I don&#8217;t know why they have to do a criminal background check on you.”  “Doesn&#8217;t it take years to adopt a healthy baby?”  “Can&#8217;t you just go to Haiti and adopt one of the children from the earthquake?”  “Why must the birth mother pick you?

Recently I went to see the movie “Mother and Child” with hopes of viewing a positive and enlightening movie about adoption.  The movie has three main story lines which eventually merge together.  One story involves a woman, played by Annette Bening, who placed a newborn girl for adoption almost thirty years prior and [...]]]></description>

As you research adoption, it&#8217;s normal to have some fear.  Some of the fear could be in regards to something tangible, like the amount of money an adoption costs.  Or you may be afraid of the entire adoption process because you don&#8217;t know yet what the necessary steps are.  You could even [...]]]></description>
