I think you need to add some books on the significance of openness in adoption. To start, I'd recommend "Making Room in Our Hearts" by Micky Duxbury and the upcoming "Open Hearted Way to Open Adoption" by blogger Lori Holden http://www.amazon.com/The-Open-Hearted-Way-Open-A...

it's really hard and the days are really long.
playdates help. the playground is great for expending a lot of energy. naps were my saviour, but those days are over.
we now have a 1yo along with our 3yo, and while they can't quite play together yet -- in fact it just means more vigilance for now -- I'm really hoping they can play soon. because I am TIRED.

I love so many of your posts. it's hard to say which topics I enjoy reading the most about, because whether you're writing about adoptee rights or social work, it's all through your particular lens and I so appreciate your perspective.

if I had to choose, some of the most powerful posts for me have been those about how you've processed your adoption and told your personal story. the most recent posts from june/july I can remember were: (1) before I was adopted; (2) something that still makes me cry; and (3) the landslide post about what your adoption meant to you once you became a mother. I know there are others, but those (for me) were so outstanding. as an adoptive mom, I also appreciate the posts you've written about navigating reunion with your mother.
