The Wayfarer: Ethiopian Adoption Resources: Bananas, Kimchi, and Injera: What do they all have in common?

How to Use This Blog

A Wayfarer is a person who is traveling through......life, a particular place, a circumstance, a stage of life, etc. Let's walk the road of adoption together. The journey is so much better with company!
---------------------------------
Much of this information is useful for any adoption, but this blog is designed to be a RESOURCE BLOG for ETHIOPIAN ADOPTION. I hope this blog will be helpful to you in your adoption whether you are considering, waiting or home. I started this blog when we were adopting and found there was next to nothing on the web in any orderly manner. I set about to collect information for myself and then for others. Now, there are more sites for resources, but still not much that brings it all together. I hope this blog will serve as a sort of clearing house for Ethiopian Adoption Information. Please feel free to contribute your knowledge through commenting.
---------------------------
You can search by topic in three ways. 1. Go to the "key word" tabs on top and open pages of links in those topics. 2. Use the "labels list" in the side bar or 3. use the "search bar" above the labels list. You can also browse the blog by month and year in the Posts section or in any of the above as well. The sidebar links are to sites outside of this blog. While I feel they provide good information, I can not vouch for each site with an approval rating. Use your own discernment for each. If you have more to add to the topic, please add it in the comment section of that page or post.
----------------------------------
And, please link to The Wayfarer Adoption Blog by putting my button on your blog so others can use this resource too. Please link to this blog when ever you can and whenever you re-post things (or images) you have found here. Thanks!
The solid tabs are links to my other blogs for books and family. Check them out if you are interested. Welcome to the journey!

Bananas, Kimchi, and Injera: What do they all have in common?

Introducing...

Dear Friend,

What children eat in their earliest months impact them for the rest of their lives.

SPOON Foundation and Joint Council, leaders in orphan policy and nutrition,

are pleased to announce AdoptionNutrition.org, a comprehensive and cost-free nutrition and feeding resource for adoptive and foster families.

New research shows that malnutrition in adopted and fostered kids is not always obvious (even kids who look perfectly healthy are at risk!), and may actually worsen if gone untreated.

AdoptionNutrition.org is an important resource for adoptive and foster parents of children of any age, whether they were born across the world or a few miles away. Topics include:

Overcoming common feeding challenges
Country-specific nutrition information and recipes
Critical lab tests for identifying common deficiencies
Special needs feeding practices
Tips for transitioning the diet

The site also serves as a venue for adoptive and foster families to share their nutrition-related experiences and ask questions of an expert team.
