How Old is Adam?
Monday, August 20, 2007
So, today I was going to post about...
....money. About how money is such a charged issue in my family and I don't want it to be so for Adam. How I'm planning to educate him about money, how I plan to teach him by having him divide any money gifts he receives into portions -- one third for long term savings for big items he wants, one third for him to spend as he wishes, and one third for charitable donations. I was going to write about how maybe twice a year, perhaps on his birthday and on the anniversary of our forever family day, we would decide together on the charity to receive his donations. But I'm not going to write about that today. Because TODAY is the day I got my Giving and Receiving gate -- Adam will be in my arms on September 10! His 17 month birthday and 5 days before my birthday! Could there be a better early birthday gift!

What's more fun than talking about money? Spending it on tickets to Vietnam! Congrats!
I like the money plan, too. I give my munchkin some "charity money" for Christmas and let him pick where it goes. He likes helping the whales or tigers, etc.
Congrats again.

Just say your announcement on the Yahoo board, and decided to pop over to your blog and say "congrats".
Your little Adam is just precious! I know how long the wait may seem, but that will all melt away when you have him in your arms.
I travelled to Vietnam right after Thanksgiving and brought home our Ian (2nd Vietnam adoption)~ he is about the same age as Adam~ he just turned 16 months on Monday). You can see him on my blog, if you're interested.
Happy packing!!!
