I was just starting the adoption process then, and I FINALLY brought my daughter home from Vietnam this September. I'm really enjoying following other recently home families right now.

I was struggling with wanting to share the love I have for my children with their bio mom and was reading on her perspectives regarding open adoption when I found your link. I loved reading of your experiences...all three of my children have had their developmental difficulties and emotional struggles as well...it helps me feel not so alone. I also am a hobby photographer and love seeing the pics and picking up new tips. I am sorry to hear that some readers are taking advantage of your openness. I understand your mama bear instinct and the desire to go private, but I also would like you to know how greatly you have affected so many, as a mother and a photographer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488101.post-43550131436677643112009-02-20T18:30:00.000-08:002009-02-20T18:30:00.000-08:00Hi, my name is Steph and I live in Australia.
