If you have an adoption blog I would love to read it, especially private adoption blogs. Bunches of Burches and Heart Cries are my favorites so far. I would just like some more to read.
Also, we ordered Adoption for Dummies & Adopting after Infertility. Any other suggestions?
Re: Adoption blogs? and books?
I loved Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mother, and A Love Like No Other. The first book is a great insight from an adoptive mother's perspective in an interracial adoption. The second book is a collection of adoption stories from a wide range of perspectives, and covers what I thought was the good, the bad, and the ugly. Very insightful.
The link for my blog is in my siggy if you'd like to read i t. We are actually using the same agency as the one that Rebekah from Heart Cries used. Just a cool coincidence. I like reading both of the blogs you mentioned as well. I have some links to other blogs on the side bar on my blog if you're interested.
As far as books go, I like the ones that you and Dr. Loretta mentioned. I also like Making Room in Our Hearts by Duxbury. It's about open adoption. I read a variety of books when we weren't sure if we would choose domestic or international adoption...China Ghosts by Jeff Gammage and Forever Lily by Beth Nonte Russell were very good.
I also LOVED this book! I highly recommend it! My blog link is in my siggie. It's very new and I'm a terrible writer but it's there if you want to take a look!
I have a private blog but will send you an invite if you want to follow it. Just PM me your email or add it here to this post.
