Just had guests leave after a fab Thai dinner lovingly prepared by my dear husband … Tom Ka Gai, Kang Keo Wan, pork satay, fried eggplant. The man can cook! … and am pausing for a thought about how interesting it is to live with the diversity I have in my life.
A table of five adults and three kids … the adults were two Australian Jews, brother and sister, with the brother living here with his Seychellois wife and one-year-old son, and the sister a resident in Qatar … Mark, half Brit, half Seychellois … me, American born and bred, but now also holding a Seychelles passport… and our two kids, Cambodian born with citizenship here and in Britain, which means they are part of Europe.
The world is small, and I’m so pleased to have my nose rubbed in that fact almost daily.
A collection of my short stories:
I'm in this one, too ...
And I'm in here, as well ...

Keep em coming – we’re everywhere and as adoptive parents – we are interested in all news that may affect children – our children in particular, in my case, I subscribe to Vietnam and Nepal news, but as cambodia ia closeby. also check out your updates.
We are older parents and international adoption parents, what we are not is – STUPID!
We have broad interests and horizons, the broader our outlook and the more international our knowlege, the less racist we become. In my case I think of racism as holdiing any incorrect opinion about another person or group of persons who share a comon theme – not skin color necessarily.
Geez- I’d better stop here sounds like I need my own bog!
Nancy- mama to Deven and Chloe. Looking for Thai dinner reservations in seychelles next summer 🙂
