Intro to my blog

Delaney at her Kindergarten field trip to the Pumpkin Patch

A little about me:

My name is Ashton Eslinger, I am a sophomore and from Kansas City, my major is special education, due to this there is a special place in my heart for children of all kinds and from all places. All kids everywhere deserve a loving home and ones who care about them.
 When I started thinking about what I wanted my blog to be about it didn't take long, the first thing that came to my mind was adoption! I think adoption is such an awesome thing and that it should be considered as an option for more families. Not many people are very knowledgeable on the topic, so that is something I hope to change through this blog. Along with that, I think the long, grueling process of it should be loosened up a bit as not to discourage families from trying to adopt. The process should be difficult enough to weed out potential parents who aren't serious, but not enough to deter amazing families from going through with it.

Why I'm writing this blog:

 I've had a little cousin adopted from Peru, she's 5 now and she is the perfect little addition to our family! She formerly lived in an orphanage and I just think it is so awesome that now she has a house and an entire family who loves her more than anything. That is the coolest part about adoption, you can completely change a child's world. As much as we as a family have changed her world, she's changed ours immeasurably more, shown us how lucky we are and how trusting and loving she is!
This blog will discuss what exactly the problem is, who it affects, what my solution is, and where you can enter to help this problem. I look forward to getting this blog started!
