Great Blog! I love the correlation between the 10 commandments and applying the like-sense to marriage.

Belonging, Identity and 'The' Reason Why: How I Decided Not to Search for My Birth Parents (cont'd.

23 Aug 2006 11:16 PM

I appreciate your story Valorie. I had a great interest to find my son's birth siblings just to know what someone related to them was like and for medical information (found a lot too). I don't have a problem with my boys searching (though I gathered much information on family and whereabouts anyway), but it's comforting to know that there are adoptees that don't place huge emphasis on being related by blood. My son's are my sons and I don't look at their blood. I hope they will always know that I am their mother. God has entrusted them to us and they're precious to me. I admire the respect and admiration both you and Jody have for your moms (by adoption). As a mother, I hope my children feel the same toward me and never look at me as any less their mom.

God bless you.

I like the idea of kids having a pet. We have our trusty dog and our bird. Until I know that I wont be the one caring for anymore pets, I am not ready for one. Hmm, maybe we'll start out with a fish.

Islam and the Non-Muslim Wife

So interesting. In the Bible it talks of not being unequally joined together. It's to avoid issues like you've named in the marriage. Now you got me very curious how lovemaking is different .
