Old photos of my girls that never made it onto the blog. Sweet memories!
I'm a blog addict, an information junkie. I read decorating blogs, home organization blogs, adoption blogs, political blogs - anything that makes me learn or think or laugh or grow. Here's a smattering of posts I've enjoyed lately. Disclaimer: By posting these links, I'm not saying I endorse all the views expressed; but I am saying they made me think. And some of them are just for fun!Realistic Expectations: Attachment - A great overview of post-adoption attachment problems that kids adopted internationally (specifically, from China) may experience.

Your new look is fabulous. And you have catapulted to the top of my blog list. I love what you are doing here. But I must really speak to you about these blogahaolic posts. Because, you see, I am one too. And i am spending even more time following every.single.link! One post I visited and had to leave two comments because I was so intrigued by the subject. Of course, I'm kidding. Thank you for the wonderful links and great reads. Also, thanks for the shout out last week. I was honored.
ReplyDeleteOh Jennifer, you have written many "blogaholics anonymous" worthy posts! Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks so much for the link. I just read the whole series. I love how she helps us see things from the adopted Chinese child's perspective -- something that does not come easy to us as Americans.
