Fun Find
I just got a surprise phone call on my cell phone. It was from Beth Whitehouse, a columnist for Newsday.com. She explained that she was doing a piece on explaining adoption to children who aren’t adopted. I was happy to answer questions, although I felt like a bumbling idiot on the phone. I put my thoughts down in writing so much better in situations like that.
At any rate, I hung up and went to Google what I’d remembered or thought I’d heard to see if I could find her. Sure enough it came right up and a quick e-mail asking if she’d just talked to me about the piece warranted an almost immediate response in the affirmative. Then I was bold enough to send one more unsolicited e-mail sharing the most important thought I’d had about explaining adoption. She may think I’m a crazy now but I feel better about getting a p.s. in. Did I mention that I love Google and the power of the Internet? *smile*
I’m still fuzzy on the source of her finding me but if I get it cleared up I’ll let you know. It’s always nice to be found.

She probably found you the same way you found her…GOOGLE!!! We aren’t as anonymous as we once were.
She gave me the title of book but I didn’t catch it all so I’m doubly curious.
