Update

Cause for celebration (not very Granny like I know haha)!
Sacha came home today!!! she is doing well and revelling in Logan. Logan is as lovely as ever and getting bigger by the day. Sacha is going to be assessed for a heart and lung transplant in the next few weeks but we are trying not to think too much about it. Like Sach said there is too much living to be done to be wasting it on worrying

What in the world could I possibly be thinking when I read this?

I have an unnatural need to know what makes a healthy-relationship So.  Call it obsession, call it addiction, call it having-too-much-time-on-my-hands, but the quest for wholeness in my mind goes far beyond my laundry-list of adoption issues -- my quest is simply all rooted and stemed from them!

So... I find the following article written by a man, (I'm assuming, but these days, who knows anymore?).  And he offers some friendly advice in terms of finding/attracting a certain-type of female.

Gold-rush in California!

I see California is now listed as a gay-marriage friendly state, a band wagon each (MARRIED) presidential candidate sees as "acceptable".  My, oh my, when does the selling of something ever quit?

Pics say it all

Sacha is now off the ventilator, she still has a bit of a way to go but is improving daily. Here is Sacha finally getting to meet her 2week old son Logan yesterday.

mixed emotions

I have probably spent over an hour just trying to start this blog.  I have so many emotions going around my head right now and came to the conclusion that they are my emotions and it is my head so I'l spare you all my ramblings. Sacha is showing signs of improvement according to test results. Improvement can only be a good thing. Logan is so perfect but it doesnt feel quite right celebrating him. Every pleasure he gives feels like a betrayal if that makes sense. Even taking him out in the pram feels like Im stealing precious first memories from my Sacha.

How Much (and many) Can We Afford to Lose?

Ever wonder where the money comes and goes as it relates to social programs like Child Protective Services?

Ever wonder who's responsible for the creation of the individual social programs each government offers it's people, and how these programs reflect the care and concern a Public Servant has for the people he/she serves?

So excited

I haven't been around much lately but for a very good reason. My daughter is 8 days over due with my first grandchild! God it makes me sound old. I don't feel old enough to be a mum let alone a Nan but I'm so excited! She is going to be started off on Thursday so I will soon be holding my grandson.

Satire of my adoption.

I laughed while watching the video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6WlNspQgpM
 I wonder what would be my A-mother's reaction if she was still alive. 
This video made me think of my A-parents (particularly my A-mother) during my first months with them.

I was 9 years old, clean and well trained,  from Korea (my A-mother said later that she was sure that I was 6 years old). Here are some of laughable moments (laughable now but it really wasn't funny at that time)
