Adoption Blog Thursday: Looking For George
So I’m breaking the rules just a bit to tell you all about Looking For George. How is this breaking the rules? Because I think everyone might already know about this blog and I do comment on it (not enough, but sometimes!) and I even got to meet this incredible family in real life. So it feels like favoritism. But too bad.
E. is super SUPER funny. I love her blog, I love her writing style and sense of humor and honesty. I love her Blue Barb. So that, alone, is enough to keep me clicking on her blog whenever she updates.
But there’s more! Oh yes, so much more.
E. is adopting her fifth child. She has experience as both a Bio-Mom and an A-mom, which means she has depth of knowledge that many people don’t. She has been around for awhile, both in terms of parenting prowess, and also in terms of the adoption wait. But she has not yet received her referral which means that you - YES YOU, dear readers - can still tune in and catch her entire journey from beginning to end. Intriguing? I thought so. If that isn’t intriguing enough, she is currently running an illegal gambling ring a referral pool with PRIZES, people!!!!
You won’t learn that much about E’s family - she is very private, choosing to conceal her family’s names and location and any other details that stalker-types might use to hunt her down and lay claim to Blue Barb. But this makes her blog so much more interesting! Really, it is the rest…the details she can be free to share BECAUSE we don’t know where she lives or who she REALLY is, that make her blog so “real”. She strikes an awesome balance between privacy and reality.
And who is George, you might wonder? Well read on and find out!
So go on over and check out Looking For George - you’ll become addicted, just like me!
