This is the blog I plan to use to outline my information on adoption, getting kids ready for life, and starting life with kids. Hopefully this will be a place to share my thoughts well throughout the adoption process and everything involved.

thanks for commenting on my blog. I always like to hear from my readers. Plus I was already beginning to get down about the whole potty training business. He just doesn't seem to care if he is wet most of the time. Sometimes he shows promise and other times we are stepping backwards. You have encouraged me to move forward even though my husband thinks he might not be ready.
good luck with your journey to adoption. what sex and age is your preference? how many do you want to bring home?
