Keeping Walking
“If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep walking.” – Buddhist proverbHow do you update a blog when nothing’s happening? I feel like I need to have an update at least monthly, but honestly, if you want to hear about any news or development, you can stop reading now. Ian and I were touched by the reaction to the last blog. I think it had become understood that we would be getting the twins, and it would be a lot of work, but we would handle it. But that’s not how it turned out, it seems. It would have been heart-breaking if we had actually met G. and J., but the fact that we could let them go is evidence in itself that we made

The Latest (and Last) On The Twins
Today, we talked to our social worker and told her that we would not be taking the twins. It was a hard decision. For three months now, we have been fighting to get information on them that we knew their pediatricians had, while we window-shopped for all the twin accessories and imagining the wonderful, impossible tasks ahead. We had begun reading “Raising Emotional Healthy Twins,” concentrating on the philosophy to think of them as two children rather than “the twins.” (Obviously, that never completely stuck) We had talked to pediatricians and specialists about the children’s known medical issues, and there are some esoteric subjects on pediatric endocrinology we could claim

On The Brink
Something’s gonna happen, I just don’t know what or when.I haven’t updated the blog at all this September because while things are progressing on the novel and baby fronts, they were progressing slowly and I kept hoping to have some announcement to make. Instead, out of a sense of obligation to have at least one new blog post each month, consider this a situational overview. On the novel front, I’ve been contacted by a new online literary magazine about serializing the novel, publishing two chapters every month for eight months starting at the end of this year. Can’t talk too much more about that except that they’ve sent me a contract and it’s in the
