Confessions of a Real Mom; the down and dirty: Maya is ONE!!!
http://confessionsofj-momma.blogspot.com/2010/03/maya-is-one.html
Tuesday, March 9, 2010. Well, she turned 1 almost a week ago but I was preoccupied with Mateo's surgery and recovery. And she's not adopted yet :( I was hoping by the first birthday but alas, DCF moves slow. Who would've guessed? But seriously, I just have to say, Maya's bio mom agreed to consent 9 months ago. Nine months! Does it really have to take this long? Anyway, here are just some things I love about this one year old girl:. She's just so dang cute! She loves her family. She is social and friendly.

Confessions of a Real Mom; the down and dirty: Surgery Update
http://confessionsofj-momma.blogspot.com/2010/03/surgery-update.html
Friday, March 5, 2010. As we were in a wrestling match with him for the last 45 minutes. After the Valium he still tried to take the IV out but was much slower at it so we could catch him. He recovered fine after that. But I have a big gouge taken out of my finger as a war wound. Anyway, thanks for the thoughts and prayers. We are happy there was no excessive bleeding. He should be home today, eating ice cream and popsicles, and hopefully in a good mood. Im glad it all went well. March 5, 2010 at 11:46 AM.

M and M Kids: September 2010
http://mandmfun.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 3, 2010. Summer started off pretty rough. July feels like a nightmare that I barely remember. But we made up for it in August! Here are some summer highlights. This is priceless. I guess when you're 17 months old, you don't want to be dragged around by your big brother. Yes, that's little Maya behind the wheel. But she held her own. She loves the pool. Mateo has too much fear to enjoy the pool. That's why I have no pictures of him. But he loves the splash park! Really cool dinosaur park.

Confessions of a Real Mom; the down and dirty: Adoption: blessing or curse?
http://confessionsofj-momma.blogspot.com/2008/12/adoption-blessing-or-curse.html
Monday, December 8, 2008. Adoption: blessing or curse? I need to get serious here for a moment and get some things off my chest about adoption. Read with caution. As I grow and learn and mature into becoming an adoptive parent, I am starting to realize the dark side of it all. I thank God for Mateo everyday. I thank Him for adoption and the opportunity for us to grow our family through adoption. But isn't that so sick and twisted? Of course. But is it really. I can tell you that through the struggles we ...

Monday, November 24, 2008. Justice's Tips for Adoptive Parents. 1 Be prepared to not be prepared. What I mean is, know that you will have feelings and emotions that you didn't expect to feel. And that is okay. You really can't be prepared for what this will be like. Another time, after noticing Mateo wasn't talking as well as other kids his age someone asks, "is he slow? And "will he ever be normal? It's a good idea to have some pat answers for these situations. 3 Know that you will. 8 You may have troub...

Friday, July 23, 2010. Sorry I haven't written in almost a month. We are in crisis right now. Without revealing too many details, Mateo is having trouble.
