We are sweating it out in Accra! You’ve never really experienced heat until you’ve driven half an hour in a hot, cramped taxi in a fumey city, with a wiggly, sweaty baby on your lap…LOL!
I’ll post more about our trip here, it has been a good one, but with some downs, too. The best thing, [...]

Are Adoptive Moms "Non-Moms"?
Posted in Adoption on May 11, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I can’t leave this one alone! I’ve updated and added a screeen shot of the original contest website at the bottom.
Apparently NBC’s Today Show and Teleflora think so.
In their co-sponsored contest to find “America’s Favorite Mom” one of their categories is “Non-Mom Moms”. According to the contest website this category includes:

Happy “BIRTH”day, Yu Yu!

Exactly one year ago today, our dear “YuYu” (her chinese name) was welcomed into her family! I’m just her “Auntie”, but having been there when she met her Mommy, I feel like she’s a little bit mine, too.
