We have 3. 2 through adoption and 1 was hers from before we met. We combined our last names and our kids all took that name.

How long does adoption take?

Probably not the adoption story you were thinking of but this is ours. We adopted kids we had been fostering (siblings). It took about a year between going to DSS and signing up until we got foster children. The first couple of kids we fostered, needed people to take care of them while their parents got their lives back together so they were able to go home to their families. Our kids biological dad died and mom has no interest in having kids so we adopted them about a year to a year and a half after we started fostering them.

What kind of Masters program would you recommend for someone hoping to make it into a senior leadership/executive role in Comms/PR? I have over 6 yrs of experience in Comms in public/private sector. However, I haven't had any formal education in Comms/Journalism which I have felt always put me at a disadvantage. My question is, is there an advantage of doing a Masters to improve my chances of getting into a leadership role? If so, would an MBA be better than a Masters in PR/Comms?

My practice got super busy after the pandemic. I have had a waitlist and been incredibly busy. It’s been stressful, but I have been grateful for business & to be helping people through a crazy time. This fall, I’ve noticed things slowing down and I don’t really know why. Has anyone else seen any similar trends (or know what might be going on)? TIA.

What’s your opinion on what I wrote on my Grindr profile? “I am looking for a top who wants to have fun. If you’re not mobile, don’t hit me up. If you’re only here to collect pics, don’t hit me up. If you’re here to waste my time, then definitely don’t hit me up. Some of you talk big game over message but don’t live up to that expectation in person. I am tired of the flakes and the last minute excuses. I love di*k but some of you can be di*ks.”
