Adoption ramblings

In our adoption seminar a few weeks ago, they gave us a list of famous people who have been adopted themselves or have adopted kids. Some I knew about, but many I wasn't aware of. I'd like to share some with you here, just because I need more "adoptive stuff" to talk about. You see,when I was undergoing infertility treatments, there was always something going on to discuss. But now that we are past the home study stage of adoption, it's literally just a standstill. People always ask me for updates, to which I reply : "We won't know until we literally have two hours notice, or a birthmom selects our profile. Other than that were are still waiting". I could be repeating this phrase now for months on end (cross your fingers that it's not years..)

So, here's my "they were adopted? that's cool" list:
- Aristotle
- Edgar Allen Poe
- Nancy Reagan
- John Lennon
- President Gerald Ford
- Tim McGraw
- Sarah Mclaughlin
- Nelson Mandela

And, here's my "they've adopted kids? how cool" list (note that I will NOT be including Brangelina on this list!!):
- Ronald and Nancy Reagan
- Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne
- Maury Povich and Connie Chung
- Walt and Lily Disney
- Bob and Delores Hope

As for the tri training, you'll be proud to hear (err, read) that instead of happy hour tonight, I hit the gym. Fear, my friends, is a great motivator.!! That and the fact that we are going to a reggae fest concert tomorrow night with friends and generally have a pretty packed weekend,so I gotta squeeze some calorie-muscle-burning time in somewhere :)
