Mocha Moms and Other News
The Diaper Diva is on overload today so I quickly combed through some of my motherhood news sources to find stories of interest for my readers.
The first one is on Mocha Moms, a group of mostly stay-at-home moms who are black or hispanic. The organization has 125 chapters, including one in Monmouth County. Its Web site is www.mochamoms.org and there's information there about contacting our local chapter.
Here's the link to the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times article:

I encourage all my readers to join a moms group - or start one of your own. Check out a few of them to see where you fit in best. Why not make new friends and, as an added bonus, get tips from each other on how to handle baby.
An article in the Anchorage Daily News said the Russian government has halted all foreign adoptions for several months. Russia is the third largest destination for U.S. couples seeking to adopt. That country falls behind China and Guatemala, respectively, which are also tightening their adoption procedures.

If there are any couples out there fretting over the overseas adoption clamp down, please remember that there are so many children in this country that need families too. My husband and I adopted our son through a Texas agency; he was in our home six months after we mailed in our application.
Lastly, I found a Q&A with a pediatric dentist. If you're wondering when to start brushing Junior's teeth - or if you should have started already - check this out:

Have a great weekend!
