Here's the backstory on #9. My favorite Ethiopian adoption blogger is a woman named Julie, who lives in California. She and her husband waited forever (2 years?) for their adoption referral, and a couple months ago they brought home their daughter & son. Her posts are always touching and very honest & beautiful, and they're always about her family. Her post from today is a good example of what she's about. Take a quick look & tell me you don't want to adopt from Ethiopia ASAP. This woman is my inspiration!

So imagine my confusion when I read this post on her blog today. Huh? It's funny, but it's so not Julie. Since when does Julie post bizarre blog entries? At first I thought she was just trying something new. Then about 1/2 way through, I decided that her husband must have posted this, because it definitely was not written in Julie's voice. I got all the way through the post before I realized it wasn't Julie's blog. It was JJ's blog, and this type of entry is totally written in JJ's voice. She posts weird & wonderful stuff all the time. Once I got it figured out, all was once again right with the world.
