AmberN I think it all depends on how you look at it. If people want to make something bad out of it, then they will believe its bad. For me, its a fun day for my kids to get to dress up in silly costumes and get too much candy!

AmberN How exciting! How long does the adoption process take? I imagine its very lengthy. Is she with them now, or does she have to wait until it is final?

Amber @AmbiePam (92719) • United States 14 Apr 11

I was reading someone's discussion over on Gather, and she mentioned zombies (in a funny reference). And it got me to thinking about the supernatural craze that has been going on in the last few years. From vampires to werewolves...

Have you ever been in a bad situation and it doesn't sink in just how awful it is until a particular incident occurs bringing home the reality of it all? Maybe even it is a relationship. What I am thinking of is my 51 year old...

AmberN Hey! Have you received any emails from me?? To say I'm heartbroken over your mom is an understatement. :( I don't even know what to say. I'm just so sorry that this is happening to her, and you all.

Who do you look like?

Amber @AmbiePam (92719) • United States 1 Mar 10

Do you look like a specific family member? I've included a picture of my sister and me with this discussion. People say we look a lot alike, but I don't really see it. I know some of you are adopted, so you may not know if you...
