Jessica weighs in



Originally published at this woman's work. You can comment here or there.

We talked tonight about answering questions about Madison's adoption and she thinks being open is a good idea. Because, as she said, that's Madison's birth story. And we feel like the best we can do is model comfort talking about it and respect her boundaries as she grows old enough to share them with us.

So did I tell you guys? She's gonna host Madison's birthday party at the end of next month and her challenge, which she chose to accept, is to make a vegan cake that even my mother will eat. My mother's favorite cake is a thing they make at the grocery here, which she fondly calls the "HoHo cake." It tastes like a big Hostess Ding Dong. Jessica is brave indeed.
