Adoption... Again?

I would really like some feedback on this from anyone that has adopted,placed for adoption, been adopted, considered adoption or just wants to give me your two cents. So me and dh are compteplating adding to our family -- you know having the 4 bears instead of 3 --we ofcourse would love to have a bio child but not sure if that will ever happen, so we are trying to decide on adoption --- if we want to go down that road. I would love any input on if you would adopt again or not -- why or why not, if you would or would not do international --- just looking for some experiences and views from others! Thanks!!!!

LA, LA, LA,LA!!!!!

ELmos World!!!! So the Bear family are going to see Elmo Live in New Orleans this weekend!!! woo-hoo we have front row seats and I am soooooo excited!!!!!!!!! Anyone ever seen the show before --? what are your reviews?

10 Things

About me that are ALL about adoption

1. I would love to adopt from Haiti.

2. I am not sure about domestic infant adoption again --I go back in forth in my mind over this.

3. I do not think everyone that wants to adopt is really cut out for the job.

4. I think adoption is looked at as a good dead WAY TOO much.

5. I love my adopted daughter more than life itself!

6. I miss Goldielocks so much sometimes I just want to get in my car and go see her just to give her a big hug!

7. I wish more people understood open adoption and how important it is.

8. My views on adoption have changed so much over the past 2 years -- to the point of being passionate about certain aspects.

9. After you say the word adopt so many times it starts to sound funny!

10. I can't imagine my life without adoption.

Pumpkin Patch

Well we went to a pumpkin patch today!!! Fun, Fun! Baby Bear thought they were big balls!
She was saying ball and signing ball -- it was funny!!! We had fun, ofcourse there were tantrums invovled I will try to include a picture of one -- but that just seems to be a part of our everyday lives now! She is so independent and really could not understand why she could not pick up the big pumpkins!!!!
