On the air

1.17.13

I think the only phone conversations I had ever had recorded were recorded for quality control. That, however, is no longer true.

Because of my “Desperately Seeking Birthmother” post, Rebecca Vahle of Parker Adventist Hospital’s Family to Family program (who recently made some small but significant changes in their training) invited me to join her on this weeks Adoption Perspectives radio program. Pretty neat, huh?

The kids were all abuzz about it. As they got out of the car for school at drop-off, I reminded them to pray for me at about 2:15 (and to be super quiet when they got home at 3:25 since my call was due to go until 3:30). I’m assuming that “don’t be weird” is a 6-year-old’s version of “break a leg.”

Lydia actually napped without any real coercion, so the house was quiet thankfully. Miraculously, the kids made it home in record time, reportedly running home and entering on tippy toes in hopes of eavesdropping on the air. But, I had just finished up to their disappointment.

It was super fun to do and, hopefully, I wasn’t all that weird. If you want to hear it for yourself, they tell me folks can listen online on KLTT at 1pm EST on Saturday. A link to it should be up next week on Parker Adventist Hospital’s site too if you are out and about Saturday and still wanna have a listen at some point.

    So, so very proud of you! Way to go, my friend. (I think “Don’t be weird” should be put on some t-shirt.)

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.
