Help with your Adoption Journal

My wife grew up in a small town in central Ohio.  Walking to and from school was a part of her morning routine.  Walking on the dry leaves of fall is one of her favorite sounds. 

She embraced studying and graduated with honors. 
We were on the same page with education.  We are on the same page with listening to our children tell us about their desires and letting them show us their talent so we can better guide them. 
What are your early educational experiences?  How has that help you craft your approach as you think about adopting?  Write that in an adoption journal entry.
