Going Back to Square One
I started my blog as a way to journal my adoption experience. Little did I know my experience was about to hit hyperspeed and launch me Mach-4 into motherhood. Now it's a way to piss people off, annoy my husband, journal my feelings and further my awareness and education as an active member of the adoption triad.

Gotcha Baby
his is something to channel my thoughts into as we journey through parenting via open adoption. We're now the proud parents of The Babe (aka as the Monkey and Baby Kahuna, amongst others). We're learning as we go, and sometimes I wax poetic about it.

Always Wanted Four
Always Wanted Four was started during the process of bringing home our daughter from Russia. Katya joined our family in April 2007 at age 7 from St. Petersburg. She joins an older sister and 2 younger brothers. Now that she is home, we plan to continue blogging about our daily life. Our situation is somewhat unique in that we adopted out of birth order. Like many other families, we also have a blend of biological and adopted children.

3 Generations of Adoption
As the adoptee of an adoptee and the adoptive father of twins, I've gotten to see life from two corners of the triad.
