Hello Mamas! Sorry for the big blogging slow down, but I am sure we have all been busy wrapped up in world and national events, and all of the events in our own families that come with the end of summer.

NEW DESIGNS have arrived, and I am loving them. I have personally test-driven both of them in public (tough job...someone has to do it!), and received great feedback. They are fun and timeless, and will make great and easy additions to your Mama wardrobe.

Please visit the store to see the new arrivals!

Thanks for your patience as we completed the big move. We love our Mamas!

Also, wanted to let you know the May and June contribution to Love Without Boundaries was donated to an urgent fund to repair the heart of a ten year old girl from the Jiangxi province of China. She has a difficult time even climbing the stairs. Thanks to your purchases from Adoption Mama, we are now a part of her her surgery and relief. THANKS MAMAS!

2008-06-17T13:06:00.002-04:00

Check out this neat idea to raise money for the China Earthquake rebuilding and survivors. The goal is to raise $1,000,000 to be donated to World Vision (one of my favorite groups!).

Since Adoption Mama will not be shipping orders until July 9 (thank you USMC for moving across country...again), why not pick up one of these?

Not too late!!

2008-05-05T17:11:00.002-04:00

First, thanks to all of the Mamas who supported the Love Without Boundaries auction, and welcome to all the new Mamas that have found Adoption Mama through the auction. The money raised goes directly to fund heart surgeries.

If you are thinking of ordering for Mother's Day...it is not too late! Most packages in the US take 2-3 days to arrive. Unless too late in the day, I am generally shipping your order the same day I receive it.

Know a Vietnam Mama? Our Vietnam tees are on sale....just because I am so bummed for those Mamas that their program will soon close. I hope everyone can still get their children home ASAP.

May is busy, as my kids finish school and we prepare to move cross-country (thank you US Marine Corps!).

Love to hear your feedback. You can email through the website or leave a comment on the blog.

As always, THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Love Without Boundaries Auction is live!

Latest Donation to Love Without Boundaries

2008-04-21T17:06:00.004-04:00

Hello! Just a quick update to let you know that through your purchases we made our March contribution to Love Without Boundaries, this month choosing the Physical Therapy programs for our donation.

Here is a little about the program from the LWB site:

Physical Therapy (PT) Projects are currently in place in several orphanages. We attempt to identify children as early as possible who can benefit from PT services. Physical therapy helps many children to meet developmental milestones and hopefully be placed on waiting children adoption lists in order to receive families of their own.

Thanks so much for your purchase. They help me fulfill my number one goal...to give back and help the orphans left behind. Thanks Mamas!!!!!!!!!!

Mother's Day is coming!!

2008-04-17T17:10:00.002-04:00

Our shirts make great gifts for your best girlfriends, your moms or grandmas, secret pals, fellow Mamas, and WIVES (...hint, hint Gentlemen...).

Check out our great sales and new spring designs.

Please order by May 6 for Mother's Day delivery to most locations.

New Adoption Blog- NBC Reporter

2008-04-14T15:48:00.004-04:00

Hello!

Wanted to let you know about a new blog. It is called "Paper Pregnant", and you can find it here. It will follow the adoption journey of Cat Greenleaf, a reporter from NBC affiliate in New York. Cat contacted me a while ago after she had found our website. She is starting a domestic adoption. You might have also seen her on the Travel Channel or other hosting gigs. As she graciously states in her first post, the name of her blog comes from the Adoption Mama site, where she first saw the term Paper Pregnant. I wish her all of the best with the adoption, and I commend her bravery for chronicling her journey in such a public way.

You can also find a new mention of Adoption Mama on a great mom-themed blog called Mama Speaks. They review many tremendous products, so you might want to bookmark that one!

Have you checked out the clearance section lately...? Things are going quickly!

Look for us soon as part of the annual "Born In My Heart" Auction for Love Without Boundaries.

And...have you visited our new store Wife Mother Me? This features all of the mothering-themed designs you love, and also some fun jewelry! Pass this site on to your fellow Mamas (the non-adoption route variety) who didn't want to get a shirt at an "adoption" store!

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Spring!

2008-03-27T09:40:00.005-04:00

Hello Mamas! Happy Spring!

Spring has surely sprung at Adoption Mama- our newest spring designs have arrived. Three adorable new shirts for your collection.

Also, we have opened a new clearance section! Pick up some of our classic Adoption Mama shirts at a fabulous price...while they last!

How do you like our new site? It was time for a little "spring cleaning"!

Have some photos of you in an Adoption Mama shirt? Send it to me for inclusion on the "Mama Models" page! You gals are gorgeous!

We're Famous...? Lots of news!!

2008-03-07T08:39:00.003-05:00

Just wanted to share a little exciting news. We have been positively reviewed by Super Cool Baby, an independent reviewing site looking for the freshest, most fun, and best products for kids and moms. Some reviewing sites will review anything as long as you pay them, but Super Cool Baby has conducted a totally independent review...we didn't even know about it!

Also, you can see us in the March issue of Adoptive Families magazine!

On other notes...I have left some of our long-sleeve designs on sale, so get 'em while they're hot. There is ONLY 1 of our Special Limited Edition Rhinestone "Lucky Mommy" tees available. Spring designs will soon spring up in the store. Also, our site will be getting a spring makeover as well! Have you visited our CafePress store lately? I have added several special designs to that site, particularly if your country isn't represented in the main Adoption Mama site. Don't forget to sign up for the Adoption Mama Yahoo group. You can do that from the home page of the site, and it will get you emails about special secret sales or discounts. One more thing, be sure to visit our Facebook page and become a "fan"...another way to receive insider sales!

Whew! That's it for now, but keep watching for the big changes in the coming weeks!

Our Latest Love Without Boundaries Contribution

2008-01-25T08:54:00.000-05:00

Hello Mamas! Just sending out the latest update on our monthly Love Without Boundaries contribution...that you helped make possible! This month we donated in two ways.

First, we donated through the Facebook Giving Challenge. The cause receiving the most individual donors (for only $10 or more) between now and February 1 wins $50,000 for their cause. LWB has been in the lead for the overall prize, but as of today is in second, by almost 100 donors. Please...if you are looking for a worthy cause... help LWB win $50,000 to help heal the hearts of China's orphans. You can find all the details on the LWB home page.

Second, we donated the remainder of the monthly contribution to a new program LWB has started: the Anhui Cleft Healing Home, for children recovering from cleft lip or palate repair surgeries. You can also find info on this program on the LWB site.

It is a joy to share this news with you each month!

Thanks!
Adoption Mama
