Full of Possibility

I want to spotlight two posts that are a must read and deserve much attention.

1. Adopted is not an adjective

2. Infant Adoption & Loss

Both of these posts speak to an issue that is close to my heart - respecting all that your child is and all they can become by embracing and not labeling or defining them in a way that limits the totality of their potential. Their experiences are a respectful part of them but are not them.

Joy, wonder, independence is what she is right now. LT's two & a half and 2 months into school and my girl is thriving. Kind, Funny, Sweet, Smart, Confidant & Determined. Preschool has really opened up her world and the developmental progress in 2 months has been awesome. Keeping one step ahead or rather just up with her is the goal. super lucky me.

Flag Meaning:

The colored stripes on the Ethiopian flag are significant - the red stripe stands for power, faith and blood; the yellow symbolizes peace, natural wealth and love; and the green represents the land and hope. The colors were also interpreted to have a connection to the Holy Trinity, and the three main provinces of Ethiopia. The star represents unity of the people and the races that make up Ethiopia. The five rays on the outside of the star represent prosperity and the blue disk represents peace.
The three equal horizontal bands of green (top), yellow, and red with a yellow pentagram and single yellow rays emanating from the angles between the points on a light blue disk centered on the three bands; Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa, and the three main colors of her flag were so often adopted by other African countries upon independence that they became known as the pan-African colors.
