Bringing Desta Home: “Bringing Desta Home is an adoption blog about a very special girl. Desta is a little girl from Addis Ababa Ethiopia who is in the process of being adopted by our family. She is 10 years old was born HIV positive.”
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.

Thanks so much for the link, I’m reading everything I can find about Ethiopia at the moment - we’re hoping to start our homestudy in October/November!
