Welcome:

Here you will find the somewhat random musings of a pediatrician in Watkinsville, Georgia. Some of my posts will involve medical topics, some political (maybe), and some spiritual. I will probably throw in an occasional comment about UGA athletics, or some other sports-related topic, as well.

Your comments are invited.

Happy Birthday to the Son I Haven't Met (Yet)

I'm kind of cheating on this post, since I am really just sharing with you the link to our adoption blog.  We are just really getting going on it and have lots more to share.  Our process has been moving pretty fast, which is good, but it has left us little time to write about the process so far.

Without further ado, the link is http://sprayblogadoption.blogspot.com/

Today's post addresses the fact that tomorrow is our son's birthday and we won't be able to celebrate this one with him.  We look forward to many future birthday celebrations with him.

Also, if you have an interest in supporting orphan care and adoption, visit our fundraising site: http://www.youcaring.com/fundraiser_details?fundraiser_id=7192&url=ch
Half the profits will go to help defray the expenses of our adoption and half will go to support organizations that provide orphan care or support adoption.

  1. Do you know his name yet and have you met him? How old is he? And how is the fundraising going?

    Just met another family adopting from Haiti right now, but they have successfully adopted from Ethiopia -- a little girl.

    1. We do know his name, but can't post it. He is 7 years old. We will meet him for the first time very soon and are very excited. How has your friend's daughter done with her transition to the U.S.?

  2. I'm following your posts, sounds very exciting. A huge transition for you and for A. My friend, really acquaintance, has a much younger daughter from what I know. She is doing very well with her older siblings and life in the States.

  3. Sounds very exciting, and a big transition for both you and A. I do hope that it goes smoothly and wonderfully for your full life ahead. My friend's daughter is quite a bit younger than A. But she has done well living in the States and adjusting to new siblings. My cousin has also adopted internationally and her kids are as American as ever. The people that I know that have adopted internationally can say nothing but praise for the experience.
