It then transitioned into a blog to document our adoption process and our trip to Colombia to welcome our son into our family.  Now that we are home, I have decided to retire this blog.  I started a new blog &lt;a href=&quot;http://bekindbesillybehappy.wordpress.com&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bekindbesillybehonest.wordpress.com&quot;&gt;bekindbesillybehonest&lt;/a&gt; that will protect the privacy of our children and focus more on the journey of raising a socially-conscious trans racial family.  I hope to blog about and share information on adopting an older child, trans racial adoption, advocacy for older children growing up without families, Colombian culture and a few random thoughts :).  Please join me on this new adventure!</description><link>http://theperfectsummerforamiracle.blogspot.com/2012/01/change-of-focus.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
