Well my blogging friends, I think it is time to close up shop here. I don't have much to say these days beyond what I say on Facebook or Twitter. (please email me if you want that info). I am going to start a PW protected blog on Word Press.
I'm tired of the anti-adoption comments. I get about one a month, which isn't bad, but I still hate reading them. Also the ICWA questions I get are hard to handle. I want to help people, but bottom line is the law is being abused and you need a good attorney and a lot of luck to win a case. I can't really help anyone on that issue more than what I've offered on my blog.
IVF and infertility has been covered by so many bloggers, most of those bloggers are much better writers than me.
Politics I've avoided, but I think I'll go out with a bang on that subject. I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to political views.
I don't know why now is the time, but it just sort of feels like I should wrap this blog up in the next month or so.
So email me if you want to keep following via FB or a new blog. email is in the header.

Hi,
Ive lurked and followed you and your quest to become a mommy since your a.com days. I love reading about your family here and I find your frankness refreshing. I too am a fellow adoptive mom who also has a bio child. I would like to be able to keep up on FB if possible. I dont really do twitter. Thank you, and congrats to you and your hubby on your anniversary and on your beautiful family!! My email is mexicoadoptions@yahoo.com
FB is Sara Cullison Pearson
All the best,
Sara

Keep me in the loop, too!

I also have followed you for what seems like forever. You gave me hope as we waited to adopt our son (who came home with us at 8 months) and is just younger than Jake. You will be missed!
Posted by: Shawna | March 14, 2010 at 11:04 AM
I have been with you since the months prior to Jake till now. I already see you on twitter and FB, but would love to keep up with you on the PW blog if that is OK with you.
