Annual Birthmother / Adopted Child Birthday Blues Today is the last day of the “Max’s Birthday Week..let me live in the past..thank you”. Unfortunately, it is now piggybacking on real PMS and, as always, Thanksgiving blues. Coupled with Holiday Blues Thanksgiving always makes me miss my own mother really, really bad. It is not uncommon for me to be cooking the brussel sprouts or stuffing from her handwritten recipe book…
Drowning Sterotypes with a Cup of Tea
So Thursday afternoon I sat at my kitchen table for about 2 hours and babbled on about adoption as I do with Jesse Smith, the Ulster Publishing reporter. It was actually quite enjoyable..Jesse being a cool mellow guy that he is..and, well, I am aways pretty happy talking about adoption. Anyhoo, he seemed pretty excited about it all, was going to do some more research, was happy it was a…
No good news still for Stephanie and Evelyn Bennett
As you will, I am sure recall, back in April,OUSA had a pretty successful Blogger Blitz for Stephanie Bennett. It was great because over 100 bloggers took part, but kinda didn’t do what we needed as main steam media STILL is ignoring the travisty of justice being done to that poor Ohio family. And it still continues. In April of 2007, Stephanie had a hearing in the Probate Court, and…

Breaking down….
I have not broken my fingers or fallen into a well. For some weird reason..and looking abck this has happened every once in a while..I just lack the desire to be here. Part of me thinks that I am just scared. I have a lot on my plate and NIARA as the possible small potential to be huge..but it is huge and I have to put myself out there in…

Stars out of alignment…
It’s a bad time for us Tauruses. I mean, something is out of wack in the universe and I am really feeling it. Either that or 2007 is gonna be a doozie of a year.

Table 18…adoptive parents only please.
