Since adoption isn’t the norm we get lots of questions. Often we get the same question, but someone new is asking. Not a problem, but just in case there is something you are dying to know and may have forgotten to ask, I created this section so you can find answers. The questions link to posts in the blog where I addressed the questions, so click it and you will be redirected. To get back again, just click on this page and select the next question. If there is something you think we should add to this section, feel free to ask.
