From “Dick and Jane” To “Where’s That Stupid Stork?”

While I have asked the questions of “what type of schooling is best for your child?”, I haven’t come to my final conclusions yet. I was reading over at Holly’s Corner, and she had some great thoughts on the subject of schooling. She asks “did Dick and Jane run away?”, speaking of course of the early reader books “Dick and Jane”. I don’t need to say much, she says it all, so go read her article today, and let her know how you feel about it.

I am especially excited to feature Holly this week, I have been reading her blog, and her mine, for a few months now. She is an adoptive mom and she, with her husband, have a site called “Hope To Adopt”. ( Linked from her blog as well ) While I am hoping to soon add my dear friend Kelly to my site, able to give advice to adoptive parents (or hopefuls) that I can not, Holly seems to have the same heart for adoptive parents as Kelly does. To help walk newly adoptive parents through the process, the red tape, and the emotional roller coasters that come with the whole process. Having so many friends who have adopted, and had trouble with conception, this is very dear to my heart. While I can not begin to say “I know what you are going through”, these ladies can. Knowing that the process can be so hard sometimes, I also know what a blessing children are to someone’s life, no matter how they come to you. And I know, all too well, that mother’s of unplanned pregnancy have their own, very hard, very emotional, decisions to make. Having someone that can help walk you through that decision making process is something you will never forget. I know I haven’t!
