I found this link to NPR’s 4 part series on adoption in America from 3continentfamily.
And, the results of E’s gender selection survey is up.

I would love to see all of, or at the [...]
The Red Sox won the World Series!!
I read the article, “Did I steal my daughter?” I teared up when she met with her daughter’s mother. It made me think about how much my ideas of adoption have changed.

I don’t normally post photos of myself here, they’re normally of the little bug, but I couldn’t resist. We had set up a scavenger hunt for our bosses where they are trying to rescue Marvin the Martian and it will end on Boss Day where we have special stuff planned for that.
