    To me this is an interesting blog because it records both of my cousins adoptions from Kazakhstan. (And because I am also in it!) It was very helpful when my Aunt & Uncle went over and we were able to know what was going on and what progress had been made in the adoption.

    A blog is an online site where a group of people are able to gather their thoughts and share ideas. Many times blogs allow outside people to leave their own thoughts on the topic at hand through comments. Blogs don’t have to be only writing but can also contain pictures, audio, and videos.
