• About:

    I swore I would never drive a minivan, so I went through a bit of an identity crisis when we finally broke down and bought one. But now I've decided to get over myself, and fully embrace my life as a suburban, minivan-driving, Mommy Blogger. Since my family rocks, and my family and the minivan are a package deal, I am hereby declaring that My Minivan Rocks!

    This blog is about so much more than my minivan; It's about the three beautiful kids who fill the carseats in my minivan. Christian and I were married in May 2003. After fertility treatments, our son Noah was born to us in January 2006. Our daughter Zoe was born in November 2006 in Phu Tho, Vietnam, and came home when she was four-months-old. Colin is our baby boy. He was born in July 2008 and came home when he was two-days-old through domestic adoption.

    We never planned to have our children THIS close together (we are probably the only people on the planet who can say they had two adoptions happen more quickly than expected), but we are enjoying our crazy new life!

Posted on November 5, 2007 by Tracy @ My Minivan Rocks!

I recently posted this on some Yahoo adoption groups, including AdoptionAgencyResearch and RateYourVietnamAdoptionAgency. I would encourage anyone considering adoption to join those groups and others like them to research the programs and agencies.
We adopted our daughter from Phu Tho in March 2007 through ADOPPT and I would not recommend this agency.

The bad parts of international adoption

Posted on November 5, 2007 by Tracy @ My Minivan Rocks!

I have always presented the positive side of international adoption on this blog, even when I knew there were some not-so-positive things going on. My reasoning was that my primary purpose for creating this blog was so that Noah and Zoe would have it later. Since it was for my kids, I didn’t want to [...]
