Garden Variety Family

Here’s a blog from the heart. Garden Variety Family celebrates the “journey to create a family through adoption”. The brainchild of Karin Choi, “a blissfully married artist living in upstate New York”, the site traces the efforts, frustrations, and obstacles of the adoption process. The journey will be worth it however, because Karin and her husband are keeping an eye toward the end result: providing a home and family for a child who needs one. Karin’s been in the “pipeline” for some time now, which allows her to think about how world events may affect adoption plans not just for her but for potential adopters (and adoptees) everywhere. Karin's "status" as a mom-to-be requires new understanding about the people involved, as her thoughts about one national promotion bear out. Personal, reflective, and thought-provoking, Karin’s writings address a subject that is affecting an increasing number of people in this ever-increasing world.
