Please Sign My Guest Book
I am so blog-addicted!! I admit it. Every day I check into some of my favorite blogs to see what's going on with different families. And I know people are reading mine, but I don't know who! This whole internet thing is pretty bizarre sometimes. So, if you don't mind, please take a moment and make a comment on this page. Of course, I still appreciate comments on any other posting but if you could also sign this one I can see who is actually reading my blog. It should only take you one minute! Thanks! :-)

I don't have a Google account or a blogger account, but I try to check your blog daily. I know you and I want to be a support for you. I guess I just get excited about babies and people who realize there is more than one way to expand a family.
Hi! Just found your comment on my Guest Book and followed the link to your blog! Congrats on the Ethiopia adoption!!! I'll be a regular reader! Glad I found you!

I love you Laura! Don't be blue, I check your blog as much as I check mine so that is scary. LOL Keep the faith it will all work itself out it always does. Remember we have that babysitting and nannyshare worked out so don't mess it up! smile

Hi Laura,
I found your blog from another single mom adoption blog. I'm a single mom-to-be adopting from Uzbekistan.
Good luck on your journey.
Hi Laura, I'm Hazel from Canada and another single PAP, waiting to bring home my daughter from Ethiopia. I just found you today.
Hi, just visiting! I am another single mom adopting from Ethiopia and found your blog!
hi there--we live in d.c. and just sent in our preliminary paperwork to gladney for an ethiopian adoption. since you're further along in the process, i'd love to communicate with you via email--is that possible? i have lots of questions. (i think we may be neighbors; we haunt busboys regularly as well.) i can be reached at journotraveler@gmail.com. good luck to you! i've enjoyed reading your blog.
hi teresa. i meant to only post your last comment! i will contact you. nice to hear you're reading my blog (do you have one? i suggest starting one--it's a great way to connect to other PAPs) and that you are in the area.
:)
I'm new to your blog. I'm in Kansas.(Not to many ET adopters from here)
Hi Laura! I live near DC and will be interested to hear where your journey leads! All the best! :)
Hi Laura,
Thanks for the comments on my blog. I tried to post a comment to your blog friday but I'm not sure it worked. So I'm posting again. I live in MD and commute into DC everyday. Do you work in DC? I am between Foggy Bottom/Dupont.
Here's my email address - Linnaea1@yahoo.com
All the best in your adoption journey!!!!
lisa-feel free to chat with me about E adoption! i don't want you to feel all alone out there in kansas!
leslie- i didn't realize you were close! that's great. i have been reading your blog and following your journey.
jennifer- yes, i work in DC near sibley hospital (upper georgetown). i will email you!
i keep thinking all of us DC/MD/VA PAPs should get together!! someone plan it! :)
Laura,
I don't have a blog but I definitely check yours everyday. I remember when I adopted my son from ET last year. I now have a newborn son adopted in the US, but I hope to adopt a baby girl from ET in the next couple of years. I wish you the very best on your journey.
Be Blessed,
Tanisha

Hi,
I've been reading your blog for a couple of weeks now and just noticed the guest book and wanted to say Hi. My blog is really just tons of pictures of my daughter. Pretty boring unless you're my mother :-).

Hi Laura,
My name is Freda I'm also with Gladney. My husband and I are just starting the process. We are AA and reside in NC.
My friend (mischief and mermaids) directed me to your site... I must admit I enjoyed reading it tremendously and am thankful you have been willing to share your journey with us. My husband and I, like many who have left comments, have recently begun the adoption of our newest child. Though we have adopted twice before, adopting from Ethiopia will be a unique and special experience. With many kind thanks,
Manette
Hello Laura!
I see that I am the first Finnish person to visit your site :)
I'm the mother of biological twins and an adopted boy from Thailand who came to us last autumn.
Just wanted to say Hi! :)

Hi Laura,
Just found your blog. We adopted through Gladney and came home with our beautiful daughter on Sept. 10th.
Can't wait to follow along on your adoption journey.

Hi there Laura,
Stumbled upon your blog through one of the odd pathways on the black box...
I'm and artist from New Zealand, and I notice from the neo counter, your first one (from NZ, that is)!
If you want a little sunshine in the winter, you can visit me, and I suppose if you're too hot in summer, you can cool down over at my blog, too.
I take lots of photos.
