Robin,
Here is what I'm finding with myself.
I'm trying to be a little more observant than I was before I adopted. I take my kid to Hebrew School almost every Sunday. I managed to teach her most of Mah Nishtanah for Passover. We sing the aleph-bet in the car. When we have conversations that touch on ethics, I toss in the Jewish point of view. She's only 9 but she's already talking about her Bat Mitzvah. I bought a book of Jewish Prayers for Children and try to have her say a prayer each night. She knows not to mix meat and dairy dishes, but she sure doesn't keep kosher outside of the home.
I am not raising her as religiously as I thought I would raise my child. But having a child has definitely shoved me into becoming more observant and more involved in the Jewish community.
