		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to say something really controversial here that may surprise a lot of you and leave you really scratching your collective chins. So here we go. I can&#8217;t bring myself to judge the adoptive mother who sent her child back to Russia. Don&#8217;t get me wrong. I think she is ultimately responsible for her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finished the chapter* on Race weeks ago and have been mulling it around in my head ever since. I have really wanted to blog about it but honestly? I don&#8217;t even know what to say. And after writing this and sitting on it another week, it is just a mile away from what I [...]]]></description>

Every.single.time. It isn&#8217;t his fault he was born, five years before Anna and in another state, but looking exactly like her.  So much like her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(I added another excerpt, below, this time from a baptist ETHICIST! This just gets better and better). I guess the news that 10 Americans were arrested for trying to smuggle 33 children out of Haiti  should be no surprise.  I read about and talk about this stuff all the time through my work with VVAI [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Work-life balance is so hard. I don&#8217;t quite understand how other families pull off this two-working-parents business. Granted other families aren&#8217;t also homeschooling their kids and I do seem to have an inordinately large number of hobbies. So it often feels like more than just work-life balance. It feels like work -homeschool-mother-photographer-crafter-adoption advocate balance. Plus [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have no new years resolutions. Every year we jot down our likes and dislikes, goals and predictions. It&#8217;s fun to revisit them in a year from now. Oddly almost all of my goals and predictions came true. Every single one of Tony&#8217;s did not and, in fact, could not be further from the truth. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know I&#8217;ve talked about our breastfeeding story before so I won&#8217;t go into it all again but as time has passed, I have often wondered how Addy will look back on our nursing relationship. She got essentially no nutritive value out of it and some people I&#8217;ve talked to over the years wondered why [...]]]></description>

In case you have a life and didn&#8217;t watch Dr. Phil yesterday or Monday, he did a two-part series featuring a 16 year old pregnant teen, Brittney. The focus of the [...]]]></description>
