We ordered some books for our required book reports. They came in over the weekend.
One of them, Adoption is a Family Affair, is recommended to be shared with family members. It deals with what relatives and friends should know.
The other, The Lost Daughters of China, was a national bestseller. The subtitle is "Adopted Girls, Their Journey to America, and the Search for a Missing Past."
We plan to get started on these this week.
We are in the final countdown towards our big trivia night. It was confirmed today that we are going to have Cardinal baseball tickets on the silent auction. We have a wall of soda in our garage. I have printed out answer sheets, trivia rules, and table centerpieces (numbers). We have several errands to run this week to finish up.
I've been really bothered by the story out of Tennessee about the mother who adopted the little boy from Russia last September. He developed some disturbing behavior disorders, but instead of taking him to a counselor, she and her mother put him on a plane by himself back to Russia, with a note that she no longer wanted to be his mother. Russia is ticked off and has suspended the license of the adoption agency involved. I can only imagine the heartache.
This blog began as a place to share Shaling's journey from rice in China to popcorn in Illinois. However, it has evolved to include all sorts of happenings in the Reynolds family.
