Adoption Awareness Month: The Blind Side

November 2, 2009

So, here’s a little something you might have gleaned about me while reading this blog.  I LOVE football (I also love futbol, uh, soccer.  But for now I am talking about football).  A guy I dated in college and for a few years after said I sealed his crush on me when I observed that our team was running the slot.  I was asked to be an assistant football coach for a local middle school when I was teaching.  Seriously, I. heart. football.  It’s my guilty pleasure.  

 And here’s a little something else you should know:  November is Adoption Awareness Month and so I will spend Inspired Tuesdays in November sharing some information and thoughts about adoption with you.  Today, I wanted to share these movie trailers for a movie that comes out the day before National Adoption Day (November 21): The Blind Side.  Just watching these trailers choked me up; I am especially excited to see the movie (my first movie in 2009 or, at least, I hope I see it in 2009): 

Have you wondered about adoption but didn’t know what first step to take?  Do you have any questions about adoption? I am happy to take them on.  Just post them in comments or shoot me an email and I’ll get to all of them!

What does it mean to be beautiful in America? For years, pop culture has insisted that beautiful women are tall, thin, and blonde. So what do you do if your mirror reflects olive skin, raven hair, and a short build? Hijas Americanas: Beauty, Body Image, and Growing Up Latina offers a provocative account of the struggles and triumphs of Latina forced to reconcile these conflicting realities. Rosie Molinary combines her own experience with the voices of hundreds of Latinas who grew up in the US navigating issues of gender, image, and sexuality. This empathetic ethnography exemplifies the ways in which our experiences are both profoundly individualistic and comfortingly universal.
