It would have to be something that would work without sound as I would put my (awful) soundtrack over the top of it.<br /><br />It would be great if you could participate. If you send me a short 5-15 second video clip (or at a push a photo, but a video would be much better) along with your name and blog then I'll put it together with other submissions and get something ready for the end of the week. I think it would be a really nice thing to do for martin to show him and E how pleased we are for him. and Martin has been incredibly supportive of me and my various projects in the past.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Were you emotionally exhausted by the end of the day?<br /><br />We attended an adoption seminar 1.5 years ago called "Lifelong Impacts of Adoption" and in the group were all members of the adoption triad from every stage you could imagine coming together to share our stories. I learned more from that day than I have from anywhere else, but it was so overwhelming. Our therapist (who adopted her first son and only counsels for infertility and alternate family building options) said the seminar we went to was probably not a good one for our first intro to adoption as it was like going from kindergarten to college...LOL. Now we get why we left feeling so lost. (-;<br /><br />Can't wait to hear about your next session.Lost in Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027117135940864685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4566785279148781067.post-477544592268756922010-02-06T04:44:48.041-08:002010-02-06T04:44:48.041-08:00Sounds like a very good day, emotional, but it see...Sounds like a very good day, emotional, but it seems as if they provide you with good preparation for what could happen and how to handle it. I'm glad you survived and that you are moving forward.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274323857430675083noreply@blogger.com
