How open adoption doesn’t suck
28Nov2007 Filed under: Adoption Author: DawnVindauga: My daughter visits her mother
This summer my daughter Mally visited her first mom on vacation. While we have had numerous visits, they have always included other family. Since Noelle moved to the South, visits are less frequent. We miss her. This summer seemed like the perfect time for Mal and Noelle to explore their relationship without our input. Cyntihia asked how it went. This is Mal’s answer and tomorrow I will post Noelle’s.
From the horse’s mouth, so to speak. (Only in this case it isn’t a horse but a gorgeous, strong, smart young woman.)

About Me
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.
