I have often thought of writing a book. Then it occurred to me that this blog will essentially be a book about my experiences as I adopt my child from Russia. So then I thought some more about what I want this blog to represent. I have read many different blogs and even posted to some of them. I want this blog to represent the good and bad times that Gerard and I will go through together as we adopt our child. I want it to include the suggestions of all who care to read and post to this blog.
I would love to have this blog bound into a book of daily or almost daily thoughts during my adoption process. If any one knows how I could do this please post or email me the information.

I get ideas from other friends' blogs and also I'm a member of an adoption forum that I really love, Adoption Talk. http://adoptiontalk.lifeme.net/
It's definitely a fun, feel good, encouraging type place. But there are also some great "real" conversations there as well.
If you sign up I'm "HappyWife" there, so you'd recognize me!
Anita,
Thanks I will check it out.

I know you can have the blog bound. Just do an internet search for it. It's kind of expensive but well worth it.
But I know someone's husband took hours and copied everything into a document and had it printed and bound at Kinko's.
Link all you want from my blog, I don't mind at all that's what it's all there for.
And I'm going to check out that chat as well, I haven't heard of that one.
Try Lulu.com. It is a self publishing house. They do a great job. I have a self published book from them.
Debbie and Valerie,
Thank you for your suggestions. I think that will work.
Joy
i too was going to suggest lulu.com, i know a few people who publish with them and its not just crochet or knit patterns, one guy i know does childrens books with lulu.com i will keep you in my prayers that you are able to give a baby a home, is not easy but well worth it when you hold that child for the first time god bless. i too invite you to link my blog as debbie said thats what its there for
Joy, To answer your question on my blog, no I'm not in the adoption field I just love searching the internet for stuff.
I just found your blog and am so excited for you! Congrats on getting the home study done.. We are in the waiting stage now and we're with CHI as well. Best of luck and I'll keep up with you through your blog.
Joy-
Thanks for keeping up with our blog. It was great to hear from you. Your blog is really good and you do a good job sharing your personal feelings (I love the honesty). I too was wondering about binding our blog when we are finished with our adoption, so thanks for asking!
