We’ve adopted three children from Vietnam, and we’re exceptionally pleased. We adopted our boys not long before Vietnam closed, and that was an extreme blessing! Now that it’s open again, our wish meters are running high, but our funds are running low. We may have to resign ourselves to being a three-child family (all from Vietnam).

I don’t know this story but I agree about the need for honesty in comment names. I think you should always use the name by which you are known to the blogger - that’s what I always do. If I can’t use my name then the comment isn’t worth leaving.

SO glad you wrote about this. I am disgusted that someone would do such a thing, especially waiting until such a pivotal point in the journey to reveal his/herself. Ugh.

You-know-who, if you’re reading this, know I’m thinking of you.

Wow, how stinky! As far as I know, only one family member reads my blog, which surprises me (I’d like to think I’m endlessly fascinating). But I have wondered if some might read and not mention it…

I have the exact same fears about being judged online as an aparent.

We, too, are turning to either Vietnam or Ethiopia because of the changes associated with who China will accept. We may well be sunk, too, regarding China.

I had something similar happen to me as TNO. My family (mother and sister)were secretly following my blog and hating me for it. I mentioned NOTI on my blog, my sister followed me there and was reading my posts for months. She came across something I wrote about her that she didn’t like. Now I’ve lost my mother and sister….and three nephews. To lose a job is devastating too. I was so upset about what I learned about TNO.

I have paswd protected my site and anyone COULD find me if they tried (except there are 3-4 women with my name on my project)

I am pissed at what happened to HER. I am so angry. She has every right to write what she needs in her blog….sigh…

Thanks for writing this. Someone had to

I’m terrified for any child you adopt.

But then, I’m terrified for any child anyone adopts. Or gives birth to. For the life of me, I can’t figure out how so many of them reach adulthood.

Right now I spend my evenings watching the toddler across the street fall off the curb and stick things in her mouth, desperately fighting the urge to run out there and wrap her in bubble wrap.

How did any of us survive?

One day I saw a visitor from the Mega-lo-corp on my sitemeter and my heart lept to my throat. Then, they went away because what I had showing that day was kinda boring.

I wish, you-know-who comes back, at least in a password protected site.

Yeah, she was blindsided over something that really didn’t amount to much, not even a dis.

I have wondered whether my job loss had anything to do with my site. I never identified my workplace (although someone who really wanted to could figure it out), and the site isn’t even a personal blog! But still… I will never find out.
