You’re Not my Real Mother!

I hope you guys are enjoying these videos.  I’m actually enjoying making them, which I didn’t think I would (because I was petrified). LOL

Anywhoo, have you tweeted #infertility today?
I’ll wait.

Hey, you’re back! Thanks for going to do that right quick.

Anyway, the book for today is You’re Not My Real Mother by Molly Friedrich.  I also talk about why I’ve chosen to look at children’s books this week and some other tidbits. Enjoy!

I must also say this…
It amazes me how silent my culture REMAINS about this topic…I’ll continue to scapegoat myself. LOL  BUT, I REALLY need for us to stop spreading ridiculousness and nonsense and then NOT discussing important things.  ALL of the world does not need to see us brandishing the “we don’t want each other” nonsense of the recent Nightline segments while there are STRONG African-American couples trying to build families.
Alright…I’m getting off my soapbox.
