Adoption emotions
Feeling much better – spoke to my son today!
By Joy A. Kennelly
Since last writing my bronchitis is almost completely cured. Yeah! Went to the doctor today and got more medicine to help with the final stages. I feel SOOOO much better it’s not even funny. Thank you God in heaven for Z-packs and loving friends who care.

Another of my Harvest Home friends just found me
By Joy A. Kennelly
Yesterday I received an email via my myspace page from a young woman I had lived with at Harvest Home named Edie I have lost touch with for the past seven years.
She had pimped her myspace site out all gangsta which cracked me up because she’s the hardest working, loving mother I [...]
Today I feel beat up and kicked around…
By Joy A. Kennelly
It’s days like these that I wish I had a child to wrap their little arms around me and tell me that they love me. That unconditional love is what I’m really missing in my life right now. My nieces live in CO and I don’t get to see them as often [...]
Complicated relationships create complicated situations I’ve found. You?

It’s about 2 hours outside of L.A. on the way to Santa Barbara and has some great spas, restaurants, art galleries and [...]
Reading some great books right now…
By Joy A. Kennelly
I’m reading three really good books. I know, how do I do it and why? Because one I read in the morning when I’m awake early enough, the second at night to relax from the day, and the other I just bought tonight.
The first was suggested reading in a Bible Study I [...]
Children are absolutely precious
By Joy A. Kennelly
Every time I need love from a child I go to visit my friend Kirsten because even though I do nothing more than play with her kids and really listen to what they have to tell me, they just love me! I don’t give them gifts that often, but I give them [...]
Adoption vs. single mothering – either choice is difficult…
By Joy A. Kennelly
Since my Typepad blog, Pure, Unadulterated Joy is acting up (which really bums me out because it’s thrown away hours of my writing with whatever glitch or hacking is going on), I thought I’d pop over to my other blogs and spread the love.
I’ve not wanted to share this, but feel the [...]
