  1. Going to movies together? What's that? My husband and I each saw Juno, separately while the other parent was with the kiddos. We did talk a little about it after...we both agreed that it certainly could be AN adoption story, since each one is so different. It's been a few months now, but one scene kind of stuck with me...just a little thing, really, but when the prospective adoptive mother takes a moment to arrange the parenting magazines prominently displayed on the coffee table, I think I was the only one in the theater laughing. I was SO THERE with that first home study! So nervous! Making sure the house was cleaner than it ever had been before (or since)....ensuring coffee and tasty refreshments were available....mentioning the books I'd been reading on adoption, especially transracial adoption...will the social worker like us? What will she say about us? Suffice it to say, things were much more casual in subsequent post-placement and pre-adoptive (#2) homestudies! About the various Juno controversies: So the characters said ignorant/potentially offensive things. That's Life. I try to view these situations as opportunities to be an "Adoption Ambassador", in hope that more eyes and hearts can be opened. Sadly, there will always be people like a friend of ours encountered: http://dutchgirl2.multiply.com/journal/item/8/Royal_Flush
  2. We miss y'all! but know you're busy and hope all is well with that growing family of yours! Blessings!

  3. We were very excited to hear from Rhonda and Doug today about Alana's arrival and receive confirmation that there really were two different placements for the Forrestears last week! Fantastic! Amazing! Wow! Already half of the families from the 3/04 orientation class have now had placements! Thank you, Abrazo! We're sending another adoptive family your way soon, so keep doing what you're doing! Larisa, George & Forrest aka the "exclamation point" family!
  4. Congratulations, fellow Forrestears! George & Larisa (Forrest's parents)
  5. We just sent out an email to the Forrestears a little while ago with an update regarding the first placement, and are eagerly awaiting news on who the new parents are! Congratulations from Forrest and his mom & dad!
