It’s 2015

Green’s books are fluffy chick lit type books – perfect for my mommy brain right now!… Continue reading Fact? or Fiction?
Change
Well, it’s time for a few changes around here! New template? Check! New ideas? Check! Explanation? Here ya’ go: I started this blog to chronicle my feelings, experiences, ideas and journey into a semi-open transracial adoption.
