adoption tidbit for the day
one of the means of adopting a child is through what is called special needs adoption. our jk is one of those kiddos. special needs is defined a number of ways, but the basic jest is that these children are harder to place in adoptive homes. they may be part of a sibling group, part of a minority race (is this america peeps?), at-risk or even just too old for what most folks choose to adopt. in most cases, there are special services, like medicaid and per diems available for SNAP kids. to find out more about special needs adoption, take a look at adopting.org.

Thanks for sharing all the adoption tidbits this month...I was adopted at 3 days old, 34 years ago. My adoption took place right after Roe vs. Wade was enacted, and I thank the Lord that my biological parents made the right decision in not aborting, but giving me up for adoption.
Love your new look!!
You guys ROCK!!!!!!
I love it!
I AlSO LOVE your new Bloggy Look!!!!
what a sport your husband is there is NO WAY I could have talked my husband into joining us in dressing up!
