I have no way of knowing how people come to my blog — by bookmark, direct link or from the “what’s new” portal of adoptionblogs.com. This site has expanded a lot recently with the addition of bloggers and new categories. There’s so much info there now that I’m having a tough time keeping up, and just keeping track of where my own posts … both here and on the Older Parent Blog … sit in relation to other new posts is a more comprehensive process than it was just a few weeks ago.

If you’ve not taken the time to look around a bit, especially recently, you’re missing a lot of country-specific information from bloggers who’ve been-there-done-that in a whole bunch of places.

Mo writes about Korean adoption from simultaneous perspectives of both an adoptee from Korea and an adoptive parent of a Korean-born child.

Mary, aka Owlhaven, shares a great deal of information on adopting from Ethiopia.

Moose has been writing about Guatemalan adoption here since the beginning of these blogs, as has Grant on China.

Kazakhstan now has Cyndi, new to the team and doing a great job, while Russian adoption is now covered by Rhonda instead of Adrienne who’s gone off to write books and have other adventures.

Angela takes care of information about adoptions from Ukraine.

Holly Richardson is now covering Africa in both the general and specific sense.

Wendy B. has been telling us about adoption from Haiti for a couple of weeks, now, and Rebecca is just warming up to give the inside scoop on the program in recently reopened Viet Nam.

There are, of course, loads of other categories not dealing directly with international adopting, but very helpful on many levels.

Check ‘em out!

    Sandra shame on you! I read the Vietnam blog (adoption from there still on my mind even though hubby is ADAMANT about no more adoptions), and noticed that you used the Sam n’Ella joke again (her daughter was wisely named Ella as well).

    Ella and I are not sure how to handle this betrayal….

    Love ya,
    L.

  2. If you’ll notice, I said “another case of …” in deference to your Ella.

    Haven’t you yet caught on to my tendency to drive a joke right into the ground?
