A few good reads from this week.  As always, I don’t necessarily agree with all the opinions expressed but do appreciate that they were expressed and provided perspectives worth considering.

“Ignorant Questions About Open Adoption“ from O Solo Mama sparked a string of responses all over the Internet. A couple I read:

“Catching a Grenade You Threw Can Be Messy“ at My Mind on Paper – regarding how adoptive parents view the birth parents of their children – and how the kids receive that, whether spoken or not.

“Salvadoran Folk Art“ at Latina-ish – ’cause we have some Fernando Llort work hanging in our Dining Room… and think everyone should be so fortunate as to experience the great things coming out of El Salvador.

“Letter #2“ from Once Was Lost – from a birth mom to the child she placed for adoption (what was supposed to be an open-adoption, but isn’t) 10 years ago.
