Celebrating Adoption: Books
With just one week left in National Adoption Month, I’d like to feature Web sites with great adoption information and resources. I’m not endorsing them per se, just presenting them for your consideration.

Giving Thanks. Making Memories.
Last week was Thanksgiving Week. The kids were out most of the week AND I had a writing deadline (which I met, thank you). So you can imagine how thankful I am to be sitting at the keyboard this morning knowing that I will finally have a one day of leisure and quiet. Can you [...]
Happy Adoption Day
Today is National Adoption Day. In many town halls, court rooms, homes, and libraries around the U.S., you’ll find adoption celebrations.
My home will be one of those that pause for a moment to celebrate ‘forever family’ with adopted children (three little boys, in fact). Since my kids are young (the oldest is nine; the youngest [...]
Fostering Hope
Today, as guest blogger for National Adoption Month, we have Cynthia Hickey. Here’s her story.

In 1992, [...]

“We’re shoulders,” the five-year-old announced.
I knew what he meant to say (‘we’re soldiers’) but what he said (’shoulders’) made me think.
As adoptive [...]
A Path to God
Today, as guest blogger for National Adoption Month, we have Ane Mulligan. Here’s her story.
“God blessed me with an adoptive father who pointed me to the Lord by showing me what a loving father was like. I’ve never really struggled with faith; Daddy set an example before my brother and me. He was a father [...]
An atypical family
Today, as guest blogger for National Adoption Month, we have Nicole Baart. Here’s her story.
November is a special month for my family because it marks both the birthday of my biological son and the homecoming of my adopted son. Sometimes I feel like I could write forever on the nuances of our life and [...]
Just Like My Daddy
Today, as guest blogger for National Adoption Month, we have Linda Rondeau.
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, Abba, Father (Romans 8:15 NIV).
Not able to have children of their own, my son and daughter-in-law [...]
Let’s Celebrate Adoption
November is National Adoption Month. So as an adoptive mom and an advocate for adoption, I’d like to take a break from my regular posting on race and faith to blog on adopting, being adopted, and thoughts about adoption. The main focus will be how adoption/adopting affects the believers’ faith journey and the relationship with [...]
