Why I Blog!

This is so off the topic of this particular blog. First read this article from Adoptive Families Magazine.... http://www.adoptivefamilies.com/articles.php?aid=1323

So why do I blog? No, it’s not because I have too much time on my hands as people have so nicely commented. I blog because it’s fun. I am excited to be adopting and it helps me sort out all the steps of Haiti adoption. If you haven’t been though international adoption I could see how it would seem silly to have all these steps to go through. In fact the most popular question I get is why does it take so long? We are working with two governments the US and Haiti. We have to go through the steps to bring our baby home; there is no way around it! That’s like saying to a pregnant woman; why does it take nine months? It just does. So back to why I blog, I like to think that by blogging I am doing something to help bring my son home. Now that my part of the paperwork is done I need something to keep my sanity while I wait. So I have busied myself with painting Kobe’s room, filling in his baby book, and blogging. And of course I have folded and re-folded those adorable Bronco jammies we got while in Denver. Someday Kobe is going to read through the posts I save from this blog and he’ll roll his eyes and say “mom you are such a dork” but until then I am going to enjoy the adoption process and keep blogging!
