		<description><![CDATA[The other day at a GG function one of the other moms said &#8220;who&#8217;s this?&#8221; and pointed to me. Twinkletoes said &#8220;mama&#8221; and the other mom said, &#8220;Do you love your mama?&#8221; And TT gave me the biggest hug EVER, she&#8217;s never held me that tightly before. I almost started crying right there in front [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have asked GlitterGirl&#8217;s teachers to let me know if they are going to be talking about family or genetics or anything along those lines, so we could have a conversation about it at home as well. So far I&#8217;ve either gotten a note or an email letting me know about such things and there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I choose to talk about it, I prefer to say that my daughters were &#8220;born in China&#8221;, not that they are &#8220;from China&#8221;. My mother thinks it is just silly that I prefer to word it that way, but I think there is a pretty big difference. I&#8217;ve asked her &#8211; when you are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GlitterGirl is dealing with adoption issues again. She is currently focused on the fact that in order for someone to have &#8220;found&#8221; her, someone must have &#8220;left&#8221; her. She&#8217;s known this for a long time, but it seems to have sunk in to a deeper level of understanding. I get so upset at the people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As people talk about what part of The Deathly Hallows made them cry, I haven&#8217;t been able to do that. You see, the part that made me cry probably did not affect most people. First, let me say that when I&#8217;ve been in the towns that my girls spent their first months/years of life that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few times on APC someone has made the comment that they don&#8217;t see their child as Chinese, or sometimes it is worded that they forget she is Chinese. I think that what they are trying to say is that they just see her as their daughter, not their Chinese daughter. But invariably a flame [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier today GlitterGirl and I had the &#8220;fair&#8221; conversation again. And this time she brought up that TwinkleToes had to live in an orphanage longer than she had to. I agreed that yes, she did. And then there were lots of questions about what she (GlitterGirl) could and could not do when we brought her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve talked some about how we American&#8217;s don&#8217;t see clean water as a luxury, but as a necessity. It&#8217;s pretty eye opening to discover that many people in this world consider it a luxury that they don&#8217;t have. There are other things that I think we (or our kids, at least) see as necessities that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GG: It&#8217;s not FAIR!!!! RQ: Who told you life was going to be fair? Wow, that&#8217;s a hard one. Kids want everything to be fair, they seem to be born with this sense of fairness, and when they learn that life doesn&#8217;t always seem to be fair, it&#8217;s sometimes hard for them to take. Right [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The attachment books and sites all say that no one but the parents should hold the baby, and they all give a variety of times for this. With GlitterGirl no one held her but us for a long time. Maybe six months? I don&#8217;t remember exactly, but it was a long time. My parents probably [...]]]></description>
