Adoption Journal Update

Adoption Journal update: For me, the month of May and the Indy 500 is a little like December and Christmas for kids. The stories, ghosts, anticipation, and traditions build excitement for THE day. I fry chicken, cut up watermelon, bag up grapes, and peanuts.  Then I then load the food and drinks in insulated back packs that we take to the race. Using frozen bottle of water rather than ice saves space and gives us more cold drinks for the walk back to the car. 
We watch the 500 festival parade while I cook the chicken.  We don’t fry food very often, but chicken at the race is a tradition we’ve kept for 28 years.

We identify food with traditions. What is your favorite meal to prepare?  Why?  Capture that in an adoption journal update.

Time to Update Your Adoption Journal

Adoption Journal Update: 
Sunday I attended the ballet with my dad.  He was trained as an artist from the time he was in middle school receiving a scholarship to collage.  His passion for illustrating led to a career as a commercial artist creating artwork for nationally recognized brands. All three of his kids, myself included, have been touched by art.  Yesterday he cried as he watched his granddaughter dance the lead in Swan Lake.  She’s danced for 15 or her 18 years.  He sees in her the same passion for the arts he felt at that age.  She too has a scholarship.  A special bond.  A warm moment in time to witness. 

With Memorial Day approaching, think about your heritage, your family, and those special pieces of family history you want to share with a child.  Mention one in an adoption journal post – don’t forget to illustrate it with a photo!
