I would love to include it in my bag of tricks when I speak with waiting a-parents. It gets right to the heart of adoptive parent responsibility in transracial and transnational adoption.

I mostly lurk here, but after reading the anomymous comment on your Textured essay, I just had to leave you a note. For every snarky anomymous commenter who carelessly lobs unfounded criticism at you, I know that there are scores of people like me who read and appreciate your blog and other writings but rarely take the time to comment and thank you. I am a transracial adoptive parent. Your posts and essays about adoption move me, educate me, spur me to thought, sensitize me, and generally make me a better parent. In other words, because of you and your willingness and ability to write about your personal experiences in a thoughtful and insightful way, there is a three-year-old girl in Texas whose mom is less clueless and better equipped to parent than she otherwise would be. So, thank you. Hi, Dawn. I mostly lurk here, but after reading the anomymous comment on your Textured essay, I just had to leave you a note.
