Baby J looks just like this (but cuter)
This is just stuff I think about - It could be offensive to some people because I don't have the same opinion. But it's honest and true...to me. I hope prospective adopted parents and adoptees can come here and see that there are good adoptions and happy adoptees...it happens more often than not.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today and for your sweet comment. I am also blessed to have found your blog and look forward to my time here reading. I have a heart for adoption and we feel that God may be leading is that direction someday. So, I really appreciate what you are sharing with us. I enjoyed this particular post so that I can be well informed as well. Blessings to you!
Wow... the world according to Petunia.
At least your web address could not be a more accurate reflection of the content.
Good post, P! Glad to see I'm not using any "bad" words :)
Alycia, popped into your blog...what a great site. Love it. Best wishes to you guys as you discern the role adoption will play in your lives. :)
Miss -if you could read you would see a few posts back explaining why my web address started that way---thanks for commenting though, you may learn somthing by reading.
Did you make this up all by yourself?
If you would do any research -- it's all over the internet on good adoption websites.
Although, I have a feeling I know who you are and your problem is - you concentrate on the "unhappy adoptee" blogs.
OH, honey... you've taught me more than I could EVER have hoped. Perhaps next time before you try to keep up, you might want to look up the definition of the term 'irony'.
Still don't get it, do you.
