All 3 are amazing articles aren't they!
ReplyDeleteThese are AWESOME articles.
ReplyDeleteHey I was looking at your total and you have the same as me 84. Why did they say 87 in their last email? Call me if you know where we messed up :)
ReplyDeleteOups forgot to say... hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
ReplyDeleteThe email said that 87 was the number of referrals after the restructuring. I have a feeling that a few referrals happened before we got the list so that's why I didn't count them.
Do you think that makes sense??
Yep that does make sense! I didn't even think of that! Sleep tight :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for these great articles!
ReplyDeleteI liked the "post-adoption panic article - some good real stuff i there!
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI frequent your blog, and know that you care deeply about kids in Africa.
You may or may not know that I’m the president of Vulnerable Children Society, a Canadian non-profit that works with Ethiopians to sponsor children in four different communities in Ethiopia. We have many children waiting to be sponsored, and were wondering if you, as a member of the adoption blogging community, would PLEASE POST OUR SPONSORSHIP VIDEO AND A LINK TO OUR WEBSITE ON YOUR BLOG. We would really appreciate it!! as we need your help to extend our reach and find sponsors for waiting children.
Here is the youtube video: http://youtu.be/URFzXVGjBEg
And here is a blurb about what we do. Thanks so much for your support!!! We really appreciate it!

Vulnerable Children Society is a Canadian non-profit organization that helps children in Ethiopia to survive and thrive. With their partner, Faya Orphanage, Vulnerable Children sponsors children and families in four communities in Ethiopia, so that despite their hardships, the kids can remain in their communities while receiving medical care, food, a family home and a chance to attend school.
For only $35 a month, you can make the world of difference to a child and their family. When you work with Vulnerable Children, you know that skilled Canadian volunteers and professional Ethiopians are ensuring that your money is wisely invested in deserving children.
As the video says, ever child deserves a future. Please consider sponsoring a child.
You can see children available for sponsorship on Vulnerable Children Society’s homepage: http://vulnerablechildren.ca
