I have a post up on My Two Boys that I wrote late last night that I think everyone should read. It really sums up a lot of how I have been feeling lately about AJ, about adoption, about being a mom, about infertility.
Please read. You can comment here. You can comment there. But, please leave your thoughts. I would love for you to share them.

I began blogging almost exactly a year ago at My Two Boys and shortly thereafter at Discussing Autism. I also started blogging for Chicago Moms Blog in July and A Child Chosen in October. I also write at Props and Pans about products I review and love and I belong to mom communities like Maya’s Mom, Trusera, Team Mom, and mommybar.

After my semi-annual dentist appointment this morning (and a lengthy conversation with the hygienist about adoption and infertility, as she is finally pregnant after 4 IVF attempts) I drove to the Secretary of State to get new stickers for our license plates because, you guessed it, they expired today.
While standing in line and writing a check (again, something last minute. Are you sensing a pattern here?) I glanced at my Drivers License and smiled at the great picture. Ah, ten pounds ago. Umm, okay, 15 pounds, but I’m working on it. But, what was horrifying was my address.

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 …read more
