Ruth Ann,
Thank you for the positive feedback. I am pretty excited about doing it. It is kind of hard to know what other people might think is important and interesting. I am still kind of stunned at the # of non-US visitors the blog is getting. Mostly from France. I looked at your blog for the first time since Thanksgiving. I love your family Chirstmas picture. What a beautiful little girl. Thanks Again

This week -- put on your dancing shoes, because Monday, we are talking
about SALSA! Watch some great videos and listen to some great music. Then, don't forget to buy some of it so you can enjoy it all the time. Tuesday -- We move on to a new region -- PASTO / Nariño. Learn about this unique area. Wednesday -- Recipe of the Week -- something new to try with those POTATOES Thursday -- More Souvenir ideas. Friday -- More Unique Colombian words. By the way, I would love to hear what you think about the SALSA -- leave your thoughts about the music in the Comments of the blog. Or, leave a link to your favorite song.

I am really excited about the posts for this week. Today, was kind of a filler while I processed all the reposnses I have got from families and individuals in the last few days.
I am really excited by Tuesday's post: ADULT COLOMBIAN ADOPTEES -- What they wish their parents knew. I got a great response from Colombian Adult Adoptees and was surprised when I found one thing that all had in common. Check it out in their own words. I tried to pick a sampling from the responses that most represented all the responses I got. WEDNESDAY -- A Discussion about Your New Culture THURSDAY -- One Common, often hidden, health aliment found in Adopted Kids from Colombia. FRIDAY -- Advice from parents who have been there and done that (this is hopefully going to be a new feature) Thanks for those who responded to my questions both publicly and privately. I would love to have your help for the BEEN THERE DONE THAT portion of the Blog. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Also, based on many private responses from my initial question, I am working on a few blogs about Post-Adoptive Depression. Anyone that would like to share their own experience -- anonymously if you'd prefer -- I would really appreciate your help. I would like to know: 1: Age of your Adopted Child 2: Did you have other children in your home and their ages? 3: How did you realize you had PAD? What were your symptoms? How long did they last? Did you seek professional help? Feel free to answer as many or as few of the questions as you wish. I think that many people can learn from others experiences. Colombia Adoption -- Raising Colombian Kids Thanks for your support! Last edited by Sumerce : 02-09-2009 at 07:14 PM.
