I love to complain about what celebrities have that I don’t as much as anyone else but, I also know when to say something different. Something like – leaving 21 million AIDS orphans to take care of themselves in Africa is an extremely bad idea.

Still, adoption is not an act of rescue or of charity any more than having a child biologically is.

This, I have learned from reading other mothers’ blogs.

So, if you are inspired by Madonna’s latest addition to her family to learn more about what adoption usually looks like, I recommend these blogs by adoptive mothers who share how their families were put together:

Holly’s Corner features daily updates from the life of a mother in an open adoption with both of her children’s birth mothers. Holly’s Corner is also featured as this week’s Blog Jolt.

Natalie China is one mother’s story of bringing her daughter home from China. The site features links to other blogs on this experience too.

And, finally, Chookooloonks is not an adoption blog. It’s just one of the facts of life. And, life, has lots and lots of facts.
