So often I am overwhelmed by the love of the international/transracial adoption community. I feel so privileged to be a part of this wonderful world.
Like so many other wonderful things in my life, it has a boundary and beyond that boundary lies a somewhat more intense often crueler world. As my family journeys towards it's next member I find my self researching the world outside of the embracing, loving adoption blogosphere.
i recently read this article www.thestranger.com/seattle/black_kids_in_white_houses/Content?oid=787542 and I have to say that although it has some very difficult bits, in the end I found it to be useful and I did not finish it feeling hopeless... rather, it left me cautiously optimistic about what I can do for my child if I am willing to stand up and move out of my own comfort zone.
Just food for thought... this article is not a representation of my opinions, just something I felt I could pass on.

I've seen that link on another blog as well...and I'm finally going to read it today.
Wanted to stop and say "thanks!" for the well wishes! We are so excited to finally be on our way to bringing Eli home! I feel the same way about this wonderful blog community - overwhelmingly supportive!
Hi Nia, if you could email me again - I will send you the recipe as attachment, it must be scanned from my book. I'll see if I can get this done this week for you.
