Domestic (Why the Versus?!) International | Amazzicolors
https://amazzicolors.wordpress.com/2010/09/11/domestic-why-the-versus-international
Domestic (Why the Versus? Recently an adoption group posted a link. To an article that covered a story about how a pilot program” helped Ethiopian orphan’s avoiding overseas adoption.” This poorly titled article was actually about a really awesome program, that had NOTHING to do with overseas adoption… But the seed was planted and the comments on this link were many and heated! Where do I stand? Fine, here is the opinion from the middle:. What about foster care? International adoptions have a miltitude o...

Diversity at the Dinner Table | Amazzicolors
https://amazzicolors.wordpress.com/2010/11/11/diversity-at-the-dinner-table
Diversity at the Dinner Table. After posting my notes. From the Toledo panel of adoptee authors. A friend wrote to ask me, “How do we find ways to get acquainted with more african americans in our neighborhood for our son like you mentioned in your notes…what ways or things can we do to meet them or find them and more importantly for us is finding christians that will be good role models for [him]? Oh my, the fire storm from this one comment went on for a while! A family beats a care center or hopping ar...

Why I flew all the way to Toledo Part 2 | Amazzicolors
https://amazzicolors.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/why-i-flew-all-the-way-to-toledo-part-2
Why I flew all the way to Toledo Part 2. Getting a chance to meet in the flesh and learn from transracial adoptive (TRA) authors Rhonda Roorda, Kevin Hoffman and Ola Zuri was an opportunity I was not. Ola describes herself as an introvert but her friend claimed she was anything. Despite having read their books, Rhonda, Kevin and Ola had yet A LOT to teach me during their panel, and I’m SO eager to share it with you! I have every intention of elaborating on some of these in coming days, and would love to ...

Church of The Misfits | Amazzicolors
https://amazzicolors.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/church-of-the-misfits
Church of The Misfits. I attend the church of the misfits. The prodigal sons returned,. The church of the rejected,. Divorced, addicted, and the spurned. In the pews beside me are sinners,. Behind were previously interred,. We seek not the church of the perfect,. But the church where our sins are deferred. Beware those who expect perfection,. We’re the kind who admits we’ve sinned,. And embrace the fact that God loves us,. All our debts He will rescind. I attend the church of the misfits,. The Word In 365.

“A Painting That Looks Like Me” | Amazzicolors
https://amazzicolors.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/a-painting-that-looks-like-me
8220;A Painting That Looks Like Me”. Every painting has a story to tell and a story yet to be told…. When we moved into the current home we live in now I had only two children, two rambunctious. Then my daughter entered the picture… quite literally. In a previous blog. To sell prints of my artwork. I also have a Facebook Fan page. Where I am collecting ideas for paintings. I have only a few paintings featuring children who are black, but month by month I hope to change that. Every Painting Has a Story.

I Have A Dream. Dr Martin Luthar King Jr’s “I Have A Dream” speech:. 8220;I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied? I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come f...

Black Baby Dolls | Amazzicolors
https://amazzicolors.wordpress.com/2010/10/30/black-baby-dolls
I worked hard to frame art I’d picked up from her birth country but what I really wanted was toys, girl toys, and even more specifically dolls. My baby girl deserved a doll, doesn’t every one? Funny the things you didn’t notice before you became a part of a transracial family…. Luckily The Frog Princess had just come out and we were able to tap into some Princess Tiana. Thank God for that too, those Disney Princesses were in desperate need of some more ethnicity in their ranks! October 30, 2010 at 2:20 am.
