Marriage is actually really terrifying. It doesn't work for many people.

I used to weigh myself every day at a certain time of day. Then I would write down the number and measure my body fat. It wasn't a healthy way to live.

My mother is a realist, and she's had biological and adoptive children, and she said it's no different: No matter what, they're putting a stranger into your arms. You don't know them yet.

Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.

Isn't it so weird the day you wake up and you're just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.

I always assume I look better than I actually do. I'll feel pretty good about myself when I leave the house, then I'll see a picture and think, 'Crap, I had no idea that's what I was looking like.'

I totally wouldn't mind being able to wave my hand head to toe and have, like, a whole new outfit.
