  Lately, on both the Creating a Family radio show and on this blog, it seems like I’ve been focusing a lot on honoring the differences of our adopted kids.  We need to incorporate their racial and ethnic heritage into our lives, we need to honor their birth families, we need to talk with them about their adoption.  ...

  Madison was hating me like crazy yesterday. She had three full fits and in every single one she hated me. “I hate you! I hate mama!” she railed. “I’m going to live with Pennie!” By the end of the day, I was sick of hearing it. “Madison!” I hollered back. “I am tired of hearing how much you hate me! ...
