If you haven’t heard by other means by now, our family is finally complete with the adoption of H.D. in September. He’s amazing. V is an amazing brother and my and Mr. Badger’s family have been rock stars in helping us get to this point. They, along with our friends and you, my readers, have helped get us through the darkest times I’ve ever experienced. I can never repay the debt owed for everyone’s support, especially knowing that without this space, we’d never have been able to be V’s parents.
But while I’ve tried to keep this site alive by reinventing it, it simply isn’t a good fit for me anymore. We have our family blog, as well as social media outlets like facebook and the braces bunch for support, not to mention the friends I’ve made online, locally, or online who became face to face friends. Maybe I’ll find something else to say down the road, perhaps related to adoption reform, maybe about running, now that I’ve done a marathon. For now, though, it’s time to enjoy the here and now, and part of that is shedding the cloak of what was the building part of our family. I’ll never forget what a life saver this sacred space was, and I love it enough to know that it is a good time to say goodbye to it, and move forward towards new adventures.
Thank you dear friends and family, you all got us to this place of our family beginnings.

I am so happy for your family.
And sad I won’t be reading your wit and insight here.
But I’ll keep up with you in those other places. I’m happy to be one of those online ==> real life friends.
Mwah!
Congratulations on completing your family. Motherhood truly seems to suit you well. Best of luck in all that lies ahead.
Here from the creme list.
A bit surprising to find a goodbye post … though on second thought what could be better than the post about competing your family? Congratulations!
