No Hands But Ours: the blog: I am the Abductor
http://nohandscurrentinfo.blogspot.com/2012/02/i-am-abductor.html
February 16, 2012. I am the Abductor. This might come off sounding awful,. But here it goes. When my new daughter comes into my arms, {17 days from today! I think it's ok if she cries. Screaming, wailing, flailing. it's all ok with me. And here's the awful part, part of me is hoping there will be "a reaction" or some kind. I'm secretly hoping for a big awful transition. Ya, that must sound awful. It feels awful too. But we don't hope that at all. Not that I want. It'll be heart breaking to see. But these...

No Hands But Ours: the blog: "Why is one nostril bigger than the other?"
http://nohandscurrentinfo.blogspot.com/2012/02/why-is-one-nostril-bigger-than-other.html
February 13, 2012. Why is one nostril bigger than the other? That was the question I got over the weekend from my 7 year old son, Quan. We adopted Quan from China in 2007. He had a cl/cp. Both were repaired upon arriving home, he was in speech therapy until 2010, and he has done AMAZING. I know not every experience with cl/cp is this simple. I do not take for granted how easy Quan's special need has been in our case. Or maybe I do. I've forgotten about it. The repairs and therapies seem so long ago!

http://nohandscurrentinfo.blogspot.com/2010/09/way-with-da-ladies.html
September 3, 2010. A Way With Da Ladies. Today's guest post is by our first contributor who isn't a mama. he is a baba. Adrian is father to four children, his youngest daughter adopted from China, and blogs at Forever Family. I know there are some stories of adoption out there, where the bonding between child and parent(s) is instant and wonderful! This was not. our adoption. At least, not for me and our daughter. She quickly tried to find a wooden stake. To drive though my heart, garlic. But that was OK.

http://nohandscurrentinfo.blogspot.com/2012/02/sisterhood.html
February 9, 2012. I am going to try and help you understand something that may SEEM a bit odd, but I am finding it occurs more and more these days and before you get knocked over w/ the EMOTION of it perhaps I can make you aware of it, so that is can be ignored . So not matter what the intentions (whether kind or nosey) from others just pull out your GRACE and keep on GLOWING AND GLORIFYING in the LORD! Gwen Oatsvall ( Oatsvallteam.blogspot.com.

No Hands But Ours: the blog: The Plan vs The Unknown
http://nohandscurrentinfo.blogspot.com/2012/02/plan-vs-unknown.html
February 10, 2012. The Plan vs The Unknown. You know that saying. You want to see God laugh? Just tell Him what your plans are! I'm pretty sure it went down like that. In July of last year Papa and I carefully looked over our agency's special need's list. It's a paper that lists about 50 possible special needs. Hepatitis C, missing limbs, cleft lip and pallet, dwarfism, deafness, heart problems. Potential adoptive parents, like us, are directed to check yes. But in the end. we ticked only 1 box as yes.
