		<description><![CDATA[Dear Family...I am not adopting because it's trendy. Did you decide to get pregnant and give birth to your children because it was trendy? No? Then maybe you can understand that level of trendiness, or lack thereof, was not part of the equation when I was deciding to adopt.

Okay?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Liz of Inventing My Life I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about nature vs. nurture, genetics vs. environment.
