She was put in our arms at 6 minutes old and we experienced an amazing adoption process.I am looking for books on adoption that are suitable for toddlers that tell stories of or about adoption (she is 25 months old now) and am struggling to get anything locally. Please can anyone advise of good reading material that I can possibly order from Amazon or similar. Many thanks :-)

We have 3 kids from Korea. The blog is written from the kids' POV and from my own. When they write it's signed by them. When I write it's signed by me. Originally DH and I used it to keep our family and friends informed of our trip to Korea last fall. Now it's used to keep them all abreast as to what the kids are doing, the funny things they say, and issues that come up in our lives relating to adoption whether that be something that I read pertaining to adoption or something like the kids' birthdays that make me think about their First Mom.

We blogged during our adoption journey (http://dovefamily07.blogspot.com) and adopted a beautiful 5 1/2 year old boy from Ukraine. We've been home for about 10 months now and he is such a joy and blessing. We now have a post-adoption blog (http://littleboydove.blogspot.com). PS. I hate to be picky, but your reference to the "Adopt Love" blog should actually read "from Ukraine" and not "from THE Ukraine". It seems many Americans refer to it as "The Ukraine", but in fact that implies the former Soviet region. Ukraine has been an independent country since 1991, and the correct reference to the country is simply "Ukraine". Ukraine has been an independent country since 1991, and they people are very proud of their independence.

I have been blogging since 2006 about our journey into adoptive parenthood, adoption issues, a busy life with kids, etc... I was following adoption blogs for many months before that. I always struggle, though, with whether what we write on public blogs is truly fair to our children, who have a fundamental right to their privacy. It is a fine line, don't you think? Once their personal information is out there, it is out there for good. While the majority of people who will read these blogs have noble intentions, we can't assume everyone does. I think we need to be a bit careful about the type of information we share on adoption (and other) blogs, for our kids' sakes.

At 38, I was a well-educated, well traveled, independent career woman when I found myself at the tail end of an ill-fated relationship. When a friend said, "You know.. they don't discriminate against single women adopting in China," I realized there was more than one way to create my family. I started with a dog, then a few years later adopted my daughter. Call us a family, a tribe, or a pack. We laugh together, cry together, and yes, sometimes even howl together.

Our blog chronicles our family adventures, Ethiopian adoption journey and new life as a family of 4. I started the blog to chronicle our adoption progress and educate our family and friends. We have one bio son who is 5 years old and absolutely hysterical. We brought our baby girl home from Ethiopia in June. She's an absolute delight. Enjoy! www.densmorefamilyadventures.blogspot.com

I do the Adoption Blog for Families.com--here's the link. http://adoption.families.com/blog/ I have a biological son and two daughters from Korea. I do try to cover major adoption issues in general, and past writers on the site have left many blogs about adopting from foster care (including siblings) and domestic infant adoption. --Juliet--I have reviewed many, many children's books on adoption on this blog.

I'd like to welcome an interested readers to my blog. http://inconceivablefamily.wordpress.com/ has recently come out of the private sector to give the down and dirty of our adoption journey. After publishing out infertility story, The Empty Picture Frame, my husband and I pursued adoption as the way to build our family. Now we are back in the blogosphere to support our fellow adoptive parents and those considering adoption. Please join me as I recount our adoption saga.

Well, I am an adoptee and it isn't all fun and games. My adopted family hated me and emotionally abused me, they called me a begger and a halfbreed for being adopted. the dad walked out of my life at age 8, the sibling shortly after and the mom was never a mom to me. Then when I was 26 I found my birthmother who also didn't want me and hurt me, a birthdad who never knew i eXisted and who threw me out of his house when I went to see him,and birth siblings who rejected and resented me. Adoption sucks and stop pretending it's so wonderful!!! I have deep emotional scars for life. I now have NO family ties whatsoever.
