Exciting news! (LOA: Letter of Approval)
keithjennings We received our LOA from China today. This means we're officially approved to adopt our daughter. #adoption

angeecolvin I think we are finally done! Waiting to hear back from the coordinator telling us the last of the papers needed. :) #adoption

We, too, have a hard time understanding those that adamantly oppose adoption...
davejenadoption Our #adoption blog is under attack from anti-adoption commenters :( Very sad to see.
davejenadoption sad to see #adoption bashers. wish more were touched by adoption were like @msbirthmom @thebirthmom @amstelhut they are an inspiration!

Here are some responses to the above tweets...
CHSHeather @davejenadoption try not to let the hurtful comments get u down. it's upsetting that more ppl don't understand the depths of #adoption
yarnnation @davejenadoption We've had that happen. It is upsetting isn't it. Delete and ignore. #adoption

interesting notes...

ChoosingChange writing about substance abuse history in a home study for #adoption. History does not have to prevent adoption plan if successfully treated

letlovegrow do adoptive moms get babyblues, too?? TRUST me, i'm fine & VERY happy...just feel a little off. same as after birth. #adoption

We don't agree with the whole "don't breed, vasectomy is green" mentality here,
but I included it to show that there are some with this point of view.

LiveVegan National #Adoption Awareness week in AU: ADOPT a child, don't breed! Vasectomy is green. Remember nonhumans—ADOPT a fur friend

Adoption is starting to show up more in TV and movies
(We love Glee, but don't love the show's spin on adoption.)
caseypicker We watched the movie Austrailia last night and it was very good. It tells a great story of adoption. #adoption

ReneeDeLuca ABC's "Find My Family!"? Wow. I will fall apart. Signed, Reunited Adoptee #adoption

FauxClaud for real? #adoption is on Family Guy?

annewinfrey Saw the movie Bella last night, still trying to figure out if I liked it or not. The #adoption theme is good but the ending left me cold.

A few emotions people shared...
