We live in PA, but I grew up in Coldwater, and all my family is still there!

I grew up here, moved away, got married and decided to have a family and now I'm back. It's a small world, isn't it?

Hi! I grew up here and just never got around to leaving!

Have all your adoptions been domestic?

Our adoption was domestic.

It's nice to know that when we visit, we won't be the only transracial family in town. Are there any others that you know of? Did you adopt before or after moving back to Coldwater?

Actually, we were adopting domestic transracial and that fell through. Then we were matched with a caucasian infant and here we are. So much for plans, huh?
But you definitely won't be alone. Things are different around here from when we were kids. OK, not New York different, but different.
We adopted while we were here. One of my big regrets is with such a small town and county, there are no adoption support groups or play groups anywhere near here. I'd really like something of that nature.

Pooh: Our adoption was domestic.

All five of our adoptions were domestic (four from all areas of Michigan and one from New York).
