  11. LIGHT A CANDLE

    in Abrazo's Chapel Potluck

    Posted

    Check this out: Abrazo's Candle Gallery.

    Can we get all our candles lit, and keep them burning, in honor of those who make adoption possible?

    It's free, and easy to do: just click on an unlit candle, then follow the cues.

    Spread the word!

    i love these candles

    Need to light a few today for all those who are ill, traveling, matched, waiting and for those who lives are about to change

    Thank you, all, on behalf of this dear child and her concerned mama.

    We have gotten several calls from families we've placed with in the past, and did put the birthmom in touch with those who have homestudies ready (or whose workers assure us they can have updates done in a matter of days.)

    We are in the process of trying to work out the details, and will surely keep our Forum family posted if/when placement does occur, but in the meantime, please do keep both birthparents, their daughter and the yet-unknown adoptive family in your prayers! because these are surely tender times of emotion for them all, as they contemplate the future and what plan will best serve this child's needs.

    WAY TO GO - What a wonderful forum family we have here....touching to see so many of you reach out! Bless you all!

    This from Rosie O-Donnell.........

    Rosie Blogs About On-Air Spat

    ABC News

    (May 29) - Rosie O'Donnell felt like "the foster kid" on "The View" and admits her chief writer vandalized a photo of co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck after their on-air shouting match Wednesday, which led to O'Donnell's departure from the show, according to a video posted on her blog Saturday.

    "I was really just like the foster kid for a year," she said about her stint on the ABC talk show. "I came and we considered adoption, but I really didn't fit into the family, and then it was time for the foster kid to go back home." O'Donnell said in the Saturday night video that she tried to get along with Hasselbeck but suggested they weren't compatible.

    "I never tried harder to be friends with someone than I did with her from the get go, but I don't think we ended up there, anywhere close," she said.

    O'Donnell's chief writer, Janette Barber, was allegedly escorted out of "The View" studios Thursday after she was caught drawing a moustache on a photo of Hasselbeck. In her video, O'Donnell shrugged off the prank.

    "Janette, I love ya," she said. "It was only one photo, people, and it was a magazine cutout."

    In the video, O'Donnell clarified her comments about the war in Iraq -- the comments that sparked the now-infamous debate with Hasselbeck

    I don't defend the mullahs. I defend the innocent civilians living in Iraq who had nothing to do with attacking the United States and who are dying in unprecedented numbers because of the occupation by the U.S. forces," she said. "So I am against us being a bully, the U.S."

    Answering a fan's question about whether "EH," apparently meaning Hasselbeck, offered any apologies, O'Donnell said EH spoke with "Kelli," apparently referring to O'Donnell's domestic partner, Kelli Carpenter.

    "She called, and Kelli and her spoke for a long time," O'Donnell said. "And I haven't spoken to her, and I probably won't, and I think it's just as well. And I wrote her an e-mail, and she wrote me back. And there you have it."

    After months of insults, controversy and showdowns, the news of O'Donnell's departure from "The View" spread fast and furiously.

    Though her contract wasn't up until June 20, O'Donnell announced Friday she would not return to "The View" after a controversial blowout Wednesday with her co-host, Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

    On Saturday, Michael Ausiello, senior writer for TV Guide, said the search for O'Donnell's replacement is already in full gear.

    ARHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY did Rosie compare herself to a Foster Child...as a Mom via adoption and with a "bad match" foster child situation ( if that was really the case) WHY would she make such a dopey comment? What if that little girl reads that? Just another stab in her heart too...what happended to positive adoption language? Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :angry:

    Don't you think she should be cancer free for more than a few months before at age 40 something she adopts a baby? I love her music.....and am all for a clean environment....but I wonder why some "body" would okay a home study for her.....waiting for Elizabeth to chime in - she "always" knows the answers to my questions???? Oh -----Elizabeth-----I'm waiting! ;)

    I'm with you, Heidi, and I say that as a single parent and cancer survivor.

    I would be very hesitant to approve any homestudy for a single parent with recent cancer treatment who recently ended a longterm relationship that severed the marriage preceding it, costing three young children a previously-intact family of origin. (Ouch!)

    But I'm guessing this was likely a private adoption, and the theme in many of those "private" West Coast baby deals often seems to be "money talks..." :rolleyes:

    Sign me:

    You-May-Not-Agree-With-Me-But-You-Always-Get-My-Unvarnished-Opinions (LOL)

    Thanks for the validation Elizabeth and Renee.....

    I do believe that in California - the home study is done AFTER the private adoption occurs - what social worker is going to take this child out of the home then. Not sure what state she lives in - but this is the type of adoption stuff that makes me mad ....

    Signed - I think the rules should be the same for everyone...
