31 Days of Adoption in Akers’ World

10.10.11

31 Days. Love the concept of writing about something you are passionate about for 31 days during the month of October. I totally wish I had heard about that before. Such a neat idea.

But, I did get to participate just a little.

Abby Akers, sweet mama of 1 cutie pie through domestic adoption, has contributed to We Are Grafted In twice (thus far). She wrote the moving piece about open adoption and her visit with her son’s birth mom — Chuck E. Cheese Meltdown. And, she also wrote the piece Forgetful that I know so many moms can relate to as they deal with worry and planning (or is that just me?).

Well, she is one of the 746 (!) 31 Days participants (and I was hoping to check them all out…ummm…yeah, that’s not going to happen). But, I will be reading Abby’s — 31 days of adoption.

9 days into October and she’s already posted about a family via domestic transracial adoption, open adoption, adoption not being second best, shopping to support adoption, questions from birth moms, adoption grants and loans, and fundraising.

So, that brings us to Day 10. And, I had the honor of being featured today.

She gave me some questions, and I started writing.

Go make yourself a cup of coffee…or maybe put on a pot?…and go take a look. I get Day 10 AND Day 11 due to my verbosity.

How embarrassing.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
