I came across your blog from a friend who has adopted twins from Ethiopia, and I currently have my dossier somewhere in Addis waiting to match us to our next daughter. I loved your pregnancy post, but felt like you didn't cover the entire journey because you left out the financial side. I thought maybe you were independanly wealthy and money wasn't a roadblock for you, or maybe I am just shallow and see that as one of the huge stuggles of adoption. But "something" brought be back to start reading more of your blog. I can relate. Our adoption has caused us to depleate our life savings, to repair my husband's old car (again) when I'd really love for him to have something newer and reliable, to send out letters to all our family and friends asking for donations, holding garage sales, selling necklaces, holding fundraisers where only 3 friends show up (and trying not to take it personally).<br />So thanks for baring your heart as an adoptive mom. I'll be back to read more. (Can I add your blog to my bloglist?)<br />Sara<br />www.WeberAdoptionStory.blogspot.comSara Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590084657727039287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837345226891057939.post-36349525161403941732010-02-18T09:22:10.135-08:002010-02-18T09:22:10.135-08:00I hope your new venture soars!

It's by far the best make up that I've ever used (and all natural/not tested on animals - how can you not want to try that!?) And I love the spa stuff. Very luxurious. <br /><br />I think you'll be great. You just need to thicken your skin a little. Sales is a hard business. But if you really believe in what you're selling then you should feel confident about promoting it. Great idea to put it on the blog - you never know...<br /><br />But don't backburner the jewelry. You know I'll always be happy to help with that. Because I really believe in you and your talent!Kate Coveny Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006589284938683965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837345226891057939.post-41324828584819901912010-02-15T13:14:38.436-08:002010-02-15T13:14:38.436-08:00Friend?

In fact, I want to get set of the earrings for my mom, I think she'd love those amethyst ones. Me personally, I can't wear jewelry and I'm allergic to everything. However, email me okay? Save me those earrings. Please. Can buy after the first of March. :)Issahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309906249557761472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837345226891057939.post-36614091379056970722010-02-15T05:36:06.814-08:002010-02-15T05:36:06.814-08:00Good for you - I love your jewelry and am sure you...Good for you - I love your jewelry and am sure your skin care products are great too!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615149112130152767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837345226891057939.post-10436791280916369892010-02-15T05:08:03.637-08:002010-02-15T05:08:03.637-08:00Good for you!
