I think that more birth parents need to know that adoption is such a great blessing and not some bail-out to get them out of responsibility. Adoption blesses bloth sides. The birth parents are able to move on with their lives and continue to reach the goals that had previously set before the pregnancy, and the adoptive couple is able to fulfill a life-long dream! Both sides take a lot of love to complete the adoption process. This makes the birth parents especially brave and considerate, regardless of what the world tells them.

How to Clean Your Toddler's Room:

  1. Let your toddler find a container of Vaseline amongst the diaper changing items in their changing table.
  2. While you are cleaning another room, let your toddler smear said vaseline onto everything he/she can touch.
  3. Go check on your toddler because he/she "is just being too quite...they've GOT to be getting into SOMETHING."
  4. FREAK OUT because you just found 8 ounces of vaseline all over everything that you just cleaned from this morning's chores.
  5. This is the tricky part! Gather soap, warm water, a wash cloth, and a large package of wet wipes and proceed to remove (hehe good luck) all vaseline from all areas of your toddler's room.
  6. Viola! Clean room!
