Adoption Month Blog Tour

November is National Adoption Awareness Month to raise awareness of the 107,000 foster children available for adoption. I’ve teamed up with several bloggers that have adopted from foster care (or are in the process) for a blog tour! Throughout the month, I will be featuring a different blog and their unique adoption story.

So are you ready to meet some fabulous foster parents?

1. Young, Single, and Adopting reminisces on the expectations that changed along the journey to become a family.  “Although this journey has blessed me beyond belief and pushed me to limits I never knew existed, the one benefit that I never saw coming is the connections I have made in the adoption community.“
2. Kenneth A. Camp discusses why his decision to adopt had little to do with infertility. “God directed my attention toward the fact that hundreds of children in my community were in foster care. Many of them were available for adoption.“
3. Mama Foster delves into the realities of the tough behaviors that come with the kids from hard places. “There really is not much that is easy about adoption.  For me, the only easy part was the “fall in love with a kid you don’t really know” part.  Then, they move in and you have to get over the “idea” of who you thought the child was going to be and really work on falling in love with who the child really is.“
4. I Must Be Trippin’ laments on not adopting her foster son on National Adoption Day due to paperwork issues. “I’ve been a mom for five years, but not one of my children is legally “mine.”  I had myself a nice little pity party upon turning the calendar to November, seeing “Adoption Day” circled in red, and knowing that I would have to continue waiting to be a “forever mom” a little bit longer. That’s when it hit me like a tons of bricks.  I am a “forever mom!“
