This Is Us RECAP #Superbawl: We Finally Know How Jack Died and It’s Not Exactly What We Thought

February 5, 2018 By Lorilee - 4 Comments

Most people reading this will agree: This is Us is more than a show, it's a touchstone for us all in grief, parenting, marriage, and issues of identity and belonging. But especially, it's a touchstone for grief. I was amazed at the comments I saw as I scrolled through my various feeds. A friend who … [Read more...]

This is Us Recap Episode 30: Can Kevin and Miguel Put the Past Behind Them?

This is Us Episode 25 RECAP: Will Jack and Rebecca Be Able to Guide Randall Through a Racist World?

At first, I thought the judge story was an obvious place to go--a black judge wanting to stop a white family from adopting a black child. But the more I thought about … [Read more...]

I Am a Real Dad: Thoughts About and Photos of Adoptive Dads and Their Children

June 16, 2017 By Lorilee - 8 Comments

It was 2004 when my husband, Doyle, had a dream he will never forget. In the dream he saw a tiny little girl, about two, with hair the color of a blackbird's wing and eyes the shape of watermelon seeds. She was sitting on the back of a tractor trailer, in a red shirt, waving at him and … [Read more...]
