My Adoption Story
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 [...]
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 [...]
My Capitol Hill experience sharing my birthmother story
By Joy A. Kennelly
I wrote this back in 2001 after I’d returned from the International Platform Association Conference. I’m not sure if the group is still around (there was some hairy stuff that came out afterwards which might have affected its continuing – the FBI even got involved!), but it was very prestigious back when [...]
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 [...]

By Joy A. Kennelly
I wrote this September 30, 2007 and we’re still trying to put this demo reel together. Now I’m a little embarrassed when I see how long this has taken! Time to get it done!
Okay, here’s what I wrote then…
Started working on the video for my open adoption story. Very excited to see [...]
Creating my adoption promo reel…
By Joy A. Kennelly
I forget how long I’ve been promising to create a five-minute demo reel of my adoption story! This was from something I wrote April 16, 2007. I am still putting this reel together, but decided this blog would help me to focus on it better too. We shall see!
Okay, here’s my thoughts [...]
Running into someone who knew the birthfather…
By Joy A. Kennelly
Years ago I used to produce short film festivals. As a result, I was constantly scouting for good films by attending all kinds of events in town. One time there was a screening and I went by myself (this was maybe 6 months to a year after my son was placed in [...]
Reel Moments Submission to Glamour’s contest (a few years back)
By Joy A. Kennelly
I’m taking blogs I’ve written over the past year on my other blog – Pure, Unadulterated Joy and uploading them here to show my journey to date. Then, when the spirit hits me, I will add new thoughts and feelings for you ok?
Here’s one I wrote October 17, 2006:
A friend had recently [...]
