I love reading about your adoption family journey. The details are so real and I can only imagine many of the same challenges if I ever bring a school age girl or boy home.

My blog is already a little schizo in the sense of starting as an adoption blog then sliding more and more to the Catholic stuff. Tho it's all of a piece even at that....<br /><br />Can't decide wether to stop intentionally. Neglect indefinitely or post as the words need spilling and processing (which circles back to the self indulgent....). <br /><br />So all that is to say I understand where you're at w this BUT I think your voice and your family have a peaceful happy niche in these virtual neighborhoods we have all built. Yours is the welcoming house on the corner where we can stop by for a drink and a word (be it tea or something strionger) and a smile. You bring your inherent ease and graciousness and warmth to the cool tech glass of the net. <br />My vote is... Please dont move away.Coffee momhttp://anotherespressoplease.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-13405417664802300252012-07-08T19:42:41.163-07:002012-07-08T19:42:41.163-07:00my two cents: you write beautiful things.

I would read your posts about your dog pooping. so, if this just becomes a blog about life and non-personal specific things, I'll still be reading! you encourage me to see things in new, beautiful ways and to retell what I see to others.nataliehttp://littlethingsbigstuff.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-73079241766948159612012-07-07T20:11:07.951-07:002012-07-07T20:11:07.951-07:00Oh please no!

I love your work and learning a little bit each time you write.<br /><br />So, for me, please don't stop. <br /><br />That said. You must do what is right for you.knhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612658633007520397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-36132470856483447602012-07-07T17:51:41.973-07:002012-07-07T17:51:41.973-07:00I don't know if I have commented before but I ...I don't know if I have commented before but I have been reading for quite a while. I like "adoption" blogs because I adopted many years ago from Romania. The best part of adoption comes after everyone is home. You are much younger than I and you have a different lifestyle than I and yet we have things in common. Your blog reminds me to keep an open heart and mind. So I hope you continue to blog. I would miss your thoughts and words.rosedelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908968324873154422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-47441956783522381702012-07-07T17:27:38.823-07:002012-07-07T17:27:38.823-07:00As a mother who just brought home her older Ethiop...As a mother who just brought home her older Ethiopian daughter, I have loved your blog.

I still look at those that post, but I know exactly what you mean. I have decided to turn my blog into a book and move on (blurb.com). I was just rereading some of the comments, and those may be even more fun to read than my own thoughts! I will certainly miss your blog if you go, but I know that our paths will cross again. I sort of feel like living life these days more than writing about it. I may regret it later, but for now, so it is.... sending all the love in the world to those two precious kiddos and your beautiful family!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-1702432600308875292012-07-07T11:21:59.159-07:002012-07-07T11:21:59.159-07:00So from a purely selfish perspective?

I *love* the posts about your work with the African Elders--I can't think of another "space" on-line where I get the opportunity to hear their voices, thoughts, feelings...Also: I love to hear about your kids and your life as a family. I also would like to hear more about how your thoughts/feelings have changed snce you started the blog. What don't you like about the blog title? (I can guess but I'd rather hear your process). I hope you find a way to keep it going--I really, really appreciate your voice.Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10466907509767024548noreply@blogger.com
