I was looking through my emails this morning and came across one which I initially thought might be junk mail. It turns out this blog was "selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Foster Blogs on the web."
I am spreading the word by mentioning the Top 70 Foster Blogs here.
A couple clarifications on this description: Yes, I have adopted three children, but only two of those were through the foster care system while our first adoption was a private domestic adoption. I also think it's interesting that my blog is categorized as "Christian" because although I didn't set out to be a Christian blog, I guess I have, in fact, mentioned God and prayer and following the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
I remember before I went back to graduate school and entered the [paid] workforce how this blog would be so cathartic for me to get out my feelings and pass on a few things I'd learned. Although I would love to continue advocating it's a bit tricky to use a public platform to "vent" about experiences, especially when they involve my real-life children. I've always used pseudonyms to protect privacy, but at the same time it's not too hard to put two and two together .
Anyway, maybe you can discover some new blogs to follow through the list I shared and know that although I haven't put the time into writing here as I used to, I constantly have things brewing in my head. Taking the time to get them out on the keyboard is that hard part!
