  1. Just read this...Katherine Heigl & Husband Adopting a Girl

    Almost exactly a year ago, musician Josh Kelley said he and wife Katherine Heigl weren't talking about starting a family.

    Looks like somebody changed the subject.

    "Katherine and Josh are adopting a baby," the actress's rep confirms to PEOPLE. The couple are adopting a girl from Korea; Heigl's sister also was adopted from Korea.

    Heigl, 30, who married Kelly in December 2007, recently hosted a baby shower for Ellen Pompeo. And last week, Heigl got a leave of absence from Grey's Anatomy to film the movie Life As We Know It.

    Heigl's adoption plans were first reported by RadarOnline.

  2. I agree Elizabeth and I remember reading in one of our adoption books that with adopted children you should only refer to aunts and uncles as such. (Ie don't refer to your friends as aunt and uncle to your child). Of course they gave a reason why and I don't remember it off the top of my head. I have kept that in my head since reading it.

    I would like to know the reason why...we refer to my best friend as uncle Jeremy. The kids love uncle Jeremy and I am not sure why them being adopted and refering to a family friend as uncle a bad thing. Jeremy and I are like brother and sister, I am even his best chick (man) for his wedding next week. Jeremy has told us on many occasions that he would do ANYTHING for our children, that's more than my brother in law would do and they call him uncle? I guess I am confused why that with adopted children you should only refer to aunts and uncles as such. (Ie don't refer to your friends as aunt and uncle to your child

  3. Grey's Anatomy's Brooke Smith Adopts Baby Girl

    Grey's Anatomy actress Brooke Smith has adopted a baby girl from Ethiopia, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

    It is the second daughter for Smith, 40, who has a 5-year-old daughter, Fanny, with her cinematographer husband Stephen Lubensky.

    Smith, who is best known for her role in Silence of the Lambs, told PEOPLE in October that she and her husband were considering adopting.

    "You know, why not?" Smith sad, adding that she and Lubensky have traveled to Africa several times, and filmed a documentary on conservationists in Zimbabwe together. "We still might end up there some time," she said.

    The news was first reported by TV Guide.

  4. I just love our neighbors. Tonight while Delaney was getting in the shower she fell and busted open her chin. Doug wrapped her in a towel and ran next door. Dr. Doe (surgeon) cleaned her wound and called his nurse, who happened to be less thsn 5 minutes away. She came over with all his stuff, and they (Dr. and nurse) gave Delaney stitches right there on the breakfast table. She is feeling great and was an even better patient, since she trusted the doctor. The hospital is only 10 minutes away but then factor in the wait, we were back at our home in less than an hour and we even visited a little when she was all done.

    I just wanted everyone to know I have the best neighbor :rolleyes: He is even going to remove the stitches for us.

    I just hope that her pictures on wednesday don't show the stitches.

  5. Ah...Gettysburg. I've been there so many times I can see it in my sleep! My wife's family is from the Hanover/Spring Grove area and we spent many day trips at Gettysburg. Although we miss PA, the winter weather here in Texas is much better and makes up for it. Talk to me in the humid summer and I may not say the same thing.

    Welcome Jeremy and Jessica,

    If you ever need any advice from a fellow Houstion (we live in Katy) just let me know.

  6. I so wish we could add this little angel to our family. None of our paperwork is up to date :( On sunday both Miller and Delaney asked for a baby brother, I sometimes wonder if God is whispering on our ear through our children. I know that both Doug and I want another child, he just told me last week he would love to have a baby in our home to hold all day (he works from home now). How does anyone know if this or the next case is for their family....I am going to pray about this baby boy right now!

  7. Just a question for those of you who placed your babies for adoption some time ago: how have your priorities about how you wanted your child's family to be changed--or remained the same--in the years since you made your choice?

    Everything that I hoped for is coming true for my Delaney...I couldn't ask for more.

    :rolleyes: thank you, those words mean so much from you :rolleyes:

  8. I've been trying to curtail my hints lately, out of deference to those who don't enjoy them, but I'm guessing by this time tomorrow, somebody might choose to share some news... stay tuned! ;)

    To read the latest check out the Holy Flying Fish Thread :rolleyes:

  9. Last week Doug's mom was told she had thyroid cancer. Her surgery was yesterday to remove her thyroid but when the surgery happened thay found that it was not cancer just rapidly growing cells (which could lead to cancer but they found it early). To say the least she is over the moon and doing cartwheels in her head.

  10. Last night I was talking with a friend on the phone and she was talking about her relationship between her daughter and her daughter's father. She said "I am more connected and know my daughter better that he does because I carried her for 9 months" then she relized what she said and then told me "but you are a good mom too even if you didn't carry your children". Which I was like ok. But then she proceeded to say how much she knows her child and how much more she is loved because she carried her. I know the comments were meant toward me but her daughter's father but still it hurt!
