Adoption Voices

Are you aware of Adoption Voices, a new social networking site for anyone involved with adoption...think "Fac*book + adoption blogs on steroids". If not, get a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and head over there ASAP. I'm just beginning to navigate all of the groups, forums, blogs, etc., but there is a wealth of information on this site...Truck-loads of it. Lots of food for thought can be found as well as thought-provoking posts to mull over. Oh, and if you join, be sure to add me as your friend :) Enjoy!

Back to China for Another Daughter

The paperchase has officially begun for a sister from China for Elyza! We will be adopting through China's minor special needs program this time around. We feel strongly about adopting from China again for several reasons as we would like for her to have a sibling with the same ethnicity and adoption background. We also see it as a wonderful opportunity for Elyza to experience the trip back to her home country and to experience the adoption process first hand.
You never know where this adoption journey will take you exactly, but it's definitely an adventure that's worth the crazy ride!

Happy Birthday to My Two Year Old!

Asian-Inspired Toys

I was searching on-line for some wooden play food and delighted to find this Asian-inspired stir fry set, by Melissa and Doug (those great chunky wooden puzzle people).

Mandarin for Toddlers

I'm really excited about checking into the Muzzy language program, Mandarin for toddlers. I'll be adding this to Elyza's Christmas wish list ;)

Learning Chinese

I saw this link to Learning Chinese Summer School Programs on asianmommy.com . Both of these sites are great resources!
