Hey you two.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I know you're both adoptive parents via international means, and I am beginning my education on the subject. I was wondering if either of you had some common sense stepping stones that might give me some base info. Perhaps an accurate website that might be a starting point?

I'd really appreciate any words of wisdom from y'all given that you've first hand knowledge!

Thanks so much!
Jo

Jobelle,

be happy to help you in any way. One big source is simply adoption.org. Do you have AOL or Yahoo IM or MSN IM I have screen names on all of them and would be happy to chat with you. You can also E-Mail me at [email protected]. I am very open about the adoption process as it has blessed me with 2 beautiful babies.

LOL Q!

My first kid is "My little hurricane" so I think I follow part of your analogy. 😛

I've always heard that adoption was much like going through a complicated prgnancy like mine was. The difference? The labor pains aren't reserved for the last day! I'll get in touch soon! Thanks so much.
