Taking my fost/adopt child back...

.. to her birthplace!

I just had a friend come over to tell me all about just getting back from taking her adopted son to a 2-week visit to Hungary, so he can learn about his heritage and all that good stuff.

I told her: "I guess I have to take my kids to East L.A." - she looked at me puzzled. It was just too funny, I actually have a sense of humor, who would've tought?

I was ROFL, but she didn't get it!

I too took my boys back to their "birth place" in St. Louis. Actually, they both loved it (at 5 and 4)

We are going back in may, and will probably do the same thing again.

I took her to St. Louis to visit a friend in 2006. Went to a game and to the Arch - That was cool!


East L.A. is like 20 minutes from my home.

Last week I just realized my OB for the baby I'm pregnant with is the same OB that delivered A1. I told A1 and she thought that was so cool. I promised to take her to one of my appointments so she could meet the doctor that delivered her into the world.
