		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we talked about how it&#8217;s important for us to bring up adoption topics, so our kids know we&#8217;re comfortable with the conversation, and they can feel comfortable bringing it up. I mentioned finding balance &#8212; not bringing it up so much it&#8217;s like picking a scab just to watch it bleed, but also not [...]]]></description>

Jennifer Handfor has an entry at Huffington Post that I think stresses the importance of us bringing adoption issues up for our kids, [...]]]></description>

Not because what I said was wrong, but because I&#8217;ve learned a lot about sentence structure and how to tighten my writing. The original post can be found here, [...]]]></description>

Our dentist is good with that, he&#8217;s a strong proponent of kids being old enough to [...]]]></description>
