this is the today show's website for today's clip. 6 adoption myths along with a link to the video.

my friend marie commented that she likes my blog and jenna's website also, but that she doesn't understand all the abbreviations. i told her not to worry because i didn't understand them all either. i thought i might list some of the common ones in case i use them - out of habit, and because it's easier. :)
