Adoption Blog

Hi Mark, Naomi and Kaylee,

I always have a peek at your blog, I like to read the stories and to see all of you grow and enjoy being a brand new family.

I also have an adoptionblog:
http://adoptionlog.blogspot.com

Unfortunately, English is not my native language, so the grammar and words are not perfect, but I do my best, it's mainly for the family abroad and everyone else who is interested in the Dutch adoption procedure...
(you can read the dutch version at adoptielog.blogspot.com)

Hi Mark, Naomi, and Kaylee,

Somehow I came across your blog and was introduced to a whole new world of adoption blogs. Thanks for inspiring me to learn how to create my own blog and find new ones.

Best of wishes to your new family,
Gen

Mark,
My husband and I have enjoyed your blog for quite a while. Here our blog.

Believe it or not, yours was the very first blog I'd ever seen - for any subject! When we began our adoption process I showed it to my husband and we knew we'd have to have a blog, too, to share with our friends and family. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

Oops - forgot to post the address in the message:

Wow! What a GREAT response to this post!

Keep the links to the Adoption Blogs coming.

I plan to add all of the links to my permanent blog section in the margin!

BTW, if I miss a site and don't add it to the post, please post another comment and remind me. I think I've listed all of them. But I'd hate to miss one by accident. Thanks.

Our family recently (Thanksgiving Day) returned from China with our beautiful Daughter. My blog chronicles our journey from adoption application through Gotcha day.

here is our blog http://ukraineadventure.blogspot.com/
we are in the waiting stage

Saw your search for adoption blogs, thought I'd pipe in with my adoption journal. It's at http://parentcenter.bbs.babycenter.com/board/preschooler/1422038.

Also, I was looking for an RSS feed and didn't see one listed. Is there one available? Would love to add you to my feed reader.

Hi! What a great resource you are! I can't wait to dig in to all the info and sites you have accumulated!

We are Ed and Lisa (although I tend to be the Blogger and Ed tends to be the reader... lol) and we are LID 6-29... anxiously awaiting Gracie!

Thanks!
Lisa : )

How about I include the link this time? LOL

Hi Mark,
I have you (and Naomi & Kaylee of course) to thank for my blog. Yours was the very first blog I found when we started this journey. I would rush home each day so I could check in and see how things were going. You inspired me to start blogging. Blogging has added another dimension to this journey that I never could have imagined. I have "met" some really incredible people and I feel a lot of love and support from my blogging buddies. I am grateful to you and your family for allowing me to share this very happy time in your lives. Oh yeah, here's the link to my little corner of Bloggerville:

We're keeping a LJ blog chronicling our lives as foster parents and, hopefully, adoptive parents. We've had 6 babies so far and are hoping that this most recent placement is for keeps. But, as with everything else in foster care, you just never know.

Sorry for the mix up!

China, adoption, and too much time on our hands! Two friends waiting and waiting and waiting for a referral.

hi. this is my aoption blog. http://www.wibsite.com/wiblog/jennyanydots

we're early on in the process, so i hope to track the journey. we're in the uk, and i haven't found many adoption blogs that are specifically uk based. they seem to mostly be american, and i do find the adoption culture a bit different in the UK. interesting.

i'll try to check out a lot of the blogs you've posted, but i already spend too much time in front of the computer.

all the best,
jenny

We are in the process of adoption. Our adoption site is www.adoptionjoy.com

Thank you so very much for gathering links to others on this same journey. I am certainly learning that our family's experience with an international Adoption is very similar to many on here. It is so very nice to have someone to share the jorney with. Here is my BLOG link. In the url section I also posted the url of Elia's website.

I was adopted in 1955. It was a closed adoption. I've just started to write my story. I hope you will have a look.

Mark,

I've been enjoying your site. Thanks.

My wife and I leave for China in one month!

About a month ago I launched a website for adoption journals called: www.youbelong.net Let me know what you think.

Our personal journal is located at: www.youbelong.net/thebrowns

Thanks,
