This family started out taking foster parent classes so that a friend of her daughter that was in foster care could spend the night (wow! My parents would NEVER have done anything like that for me!). Anyway- they added four more children to their family through Fos-Adopt. Then.... well just read it.

Then I was reading an adoption board and found this thread. I thought it was kind of creepy at first, then I thought, "Well, I was looking for my son's siblings on the internet." I guess there is no reason why birthparents couldn't watch their birthchildren grow up by reading these sites. It still kind of freaks me out though. There is no way in hell MY kids will EVER have a webpage with pictures of them etc etc- I know I am completely behind the times and am a total "old fogey" for saying this but.... I have never been to My Space or Facebook. You never know who is watching......... I just read in the paper that an advice columnist read a letter from a concerned Dad about My Space. She said "My Space is like a virtual hallway in high school. We know it's not private, but it feels private."

If you have kids- have you checked your child's space?

Last thing....

I am trying something out. I have started taking Black Walnut Hull supplements to see what happens. I remember my piano teacher/mentor telling me about them when she recovered from cancer. It helped her. I tell ya.. some interesting things have been going on.. that's all I'm gonna say about that.

I am also taking Milk Thistle as a Liver cleanse and....
