New week, new letter

The newest Letter to a Parent comes from the inspiring Gabi. Always a wonderful spokesmom for the profession of parenting, Gabi wrote a wise and lovely Letter to an Adoptive Mom. Prepare to be inspired and informed.

If you are toying with the idea of writing a letter yourself, go ahead--do it! If you're looking for a little nudge, there are hints for writing one here.

Thanks, Annie! It was fun to do this...

By the way, my condolences to the whole New England territory today. Must be bleak after the big game...
