Thoughtful Thursday

Please read a well written article To the Woman Who Thinks Adoption Will Make You Happy.  It won't. You will experience happiness - don't misunderstand the title - but you will also experience dirty, messy, sad, betrayal (perhaps not yours), abuse, you can't fix everything, they have their own story and you do too - both are important and how they intertwine, they will struggle with self worth, shame, control and identity, they are always in search of their birth family in some shape or form and the search is not a rejection to the adoptive family, they want a family to belong and loved, adoption is hard on everyone - it's not natural but it makes you stronger, advocate for us because we need it and be there forever. No matter what age we are we need you.

It will only make you want to help more children and share more of yourself.

And a wonderful phone call with my sister. Tyson is going well.

Buenas noches!
