I've been saying for several months now that I have a big announcement to make. Every time I've made plans to make the announcement, something has come up, throwing a wrench into my plans. In fact, I planned to make the announcement this afternoon when I got two unexpected phone calls this morning telling me my uncle was dead and my father wasn't feeling well. He passed out several times. After sternly yelling at him on the phone, he agreed it was time to call 911. He's in the hospital and stable. I will blog more about both of the phone calls tomorrow. Like I said, plan to make announcement, beware of the wrenches! Despite the bad news, I'm ready to make my announcement.
A few months ago, I realized, although we have blogs to tell our stories, there isn't a place for the ALI (that's, Adoption, Loss, & Infertility, for those of you who didn't know) community to chat with each other live. After many,
many, many, many, many, many, many months of waiting, begging, and crying, I'm pleased to announce the opening of
ALI Gab. A free chat site specifically designed for the adoption, loss, and infertility community-- for you, for me, for us. ALI Gab has over 25 rooms ready to help you connect with others.
[Click the logo to enter the site.]
ALI Gab will also have special 1 hour chat sessions we're calling
Gabbing with... at least once a week with a special guest. More information will be made available soon on the main page for that.
So go ahead, sign up (for FREE!), and come chat with me. Spread the word to your friends and/or blog about the site. The more, the merrier. There is even a badge you can copy/paste to your site/blog on the main page.
Thank you for being patient with me. I hope it was worth the wait.

So sorry about your uncle and dad! I just registered for the chat site. I was just thinking the other day that while the blog community is great, it would be nice to actually be able to talk to someone in real time.
