About A Child Chosen
In January 2007, just after we decided to adopt our second child I decided to journal the process. I told myself it wasn’t going to be an ordinary journal…it was going to be spectacular and everyone of our friends could read it. Some of our closest friends and relatives read my personal blog, My Two Boys, or my Discussing Autism site where I blog about AJ’s health issues, developmental progress, and about special needs and education. I also now write at One Book, Two Book for b5media. That certainly comes in handy because I have my master’s degree in Young Adult Literature…at least I can do something with it!
But sometimes, just often enough, they venture over to my sites and ask me why I write online…Perhaps they saw an interesting post on sensory integration and they want to know more about it or why AJ struggles with it so much and I answer the question about writing with this; its because I want to help other moms help their kids who have sensory integration or Autism. I want to help teachers be better teachers or adoptive parents adjust better to those first few weeks home when it is terribly hard. Or, I tell them that its because I want to help parents find resources that can assist them instead of being left out in the dark like I was when AJ first entered our lives.
And so I continue to add to my blogging and I diversify a little more each and every day because readers ask me to.
I also advertise stores and products that I like because I believe in them. Do I get compensated like other bloggers? Sure, but its not necessarily why I advertise. Companies like eBeanstalk, Oompa, or Therapy Shoppe are stores that I know offer educational, sensory, and developmental products that I purchase for my family.
So, don’t forget to check out Adoption Products or forget to get the feed to this blog so you can stay up to date.
