I just came upon this wonderful family today who is travelling this week to get their little boy from Ethiopia! Keep them in your prayers!
As far as an idea how about finding a blog that has posted a recipe that we have tried and then we can give a review? I know I am always looking for more things to make!
Have a great weekend!
This is great because these are two of my daily reads
Outside us-http://www.livesayhaiti.blogspot.com/ The livesay family are missionaries in Haiti.
Adoption blog-
http://catching-butterflies.blogspot.com/ Cathing butterflies just picked up their little girl from China. Very interesting read.
Idea--new blogger. A blog with less than something like 50 posts. It will help incourage newer bloggers into our world.
1. Blog outside US
http://tanabata.blogspot.com
A Canadian in Japan via England - she posted some pictures of Japanese food that look very interesting.
2. Adoption blog
http://waitingforbriana.blogspot.com
Doug and Lisa from the Atlanta area celebrated their 10th year anniversary and 18 month LID. Doug works at Home Depot - same as my husband.
New idea: How about looking for something specific on a player's blog - such as finding someone with a certain number of children or has a specific job or has read a specific book or seen a specific movie - you specify the item to be found.
1. Vol Abroad is from Tennessee but is currently living in England with her English husband. She is currently expecting and planning to have a midwife, my dream until I had surgery that would make that impossible.
2. Andie and Jeff are in the process of adopting a child from China.
Hm, we could look for someone with the same profession or hobby that we have.
1. # 89 Ruth is a fellow Canadian from Ontario, she is a SAHM who home schools her children.
2. #83 Robin is currently on a journey to adopt a baby from China.
1. John and Sheena are located in South Korea.

2. Wow, this was great! I found the adoption blog of a couple named Tammy and Kurt, and the last entry there left a link to their NEW blog, which was about their new family. And the latest entry there was about their one-year anniversary of adoption. So beautiful! You'll be writing an entry like that one day, too!

And! I emailed you with extra credit.
1.) Sarah (#64) is from the United Kingdom. I left her a comment ... I think it's interesting that she's a teacher. And she participates in a lot of those meme's
2.) I'm gonna pick an easy one here lol. Michael #3. *grins* ... and I'm leaving him a comment now.
oooh Just one mmmm......
1.My husband's : South Africa Western Cape. Its well written, funny and interesting. Its about 125cc motorbike, linux and everything in between. http://gomotodiaries.blogspot.com/
Quote from one of his post:
My Gomoto is going nowhere today. In stead I will be using my wife's car in the next hour to drive to the airport to collect my Mother-in-Law, who is coming to visit us for a week.
I am tempted to say that this is the reason why the topic of "Insanity" is on my mind, but truth be told, we tend to call on her when we actually need to establish sanity in the household!
2. Cigarettes & Coffee
i keep coming back like a bad rash: mis-adventures of a birthmother in open adoption.

I left message on this post http://kaldiboo.blogspot.com/2007/05/marketing-mothers-day-more.html
1. This blog is the first one that came to mind when you mentioned finding a blog that is outside of the US. She does Thursday 13 and sometimes highlights English expressions and lets people guess what they mean. :)

The Blue Panther Experience… and other things.
Here’s one that I read periodically. I don’t exactly know where he writes from but he certainly writes a lot about India. He started Blog Your Blessings Sunday BYBS, the purpose to post something on Sunday on why you feel blessed. He is actually a very good writer.
2) There are my adoption blogs. It can be domestic or international. Find one and leave some encouraging words!!!
http://awaitingava.blogspot.com/
I knew you blog would be a good reference to start searching and I wasn’t wrong. I found the blog “Awaiting Ava and read some of the posts. I also left words of encouragement for them.
