The purpose of this blog is threefold…

First, to advocate for issues I care about like adoption, orphan care and education reform;

Second, to share what I've learned and to learn from commenters about my areas of expertise in business, technology, marketing, leadership and entrepreneurship.

And third, to entertain and make the first two purposes fun. I could kill this final purpose and it would probably look less like “tweeting my own horn” (your wife still gets the award for comment that made me laugh the loudest), but I also think it would make the first two purposes dry and ineffective.

Thanks for your kind words. If there is anything we've learned about adoption, it is that these two kids are far more of a blessing and gift to us than we are to them. And if even one family ends up adopting one of the 143 million orphans in our world as a result of reading our story, all the time spent writing on the subject will be worth it.

Thanks for sharing your life with us. Some jerks will always try and find ways to pull you down, please ignore them. We all need to be careful to not toot our own horns, as Megan has jokingly teased you of doing; but we also need to share what makes us happy. Megan and I appreciate your courage to share your life with us, anyone, and everyone. It's ironic that you posted this blog praising only the good of an anti-American communist, and a constitution-trampling President; and you were criticized for it.

We can't wait to meet Emma!
