Adoption may be complicated, but never lose sight of what it truly is - an act of love.Mrs MacKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115856855034038428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-50123722829158751772010-11-16T09:25:01.052+00:002010-11-16T09:25:01.052+00:00Claudia, I feel like you surely have been a fly on...Claudia, I feel like you surely have been a fly on the wall of my brain!

You've spelled it all out so wonderfully, the happiness and confusion and sadness and how nothing, nothing, about family fits into a box. <br /><br />The blogamigas told me to find you - and I do whatever they say. Nice to meet you!

Some people see butterflies and other's can't see any beauty at all.<br />Most people don't actually drink it, they pretend to drink it and pour it in a potted plant (like a bad after-school special). Then they pretend to not see the beauty or only see the butterflies so the other APs will think they are hip.<br />I think those of us who refuse to drink the Kool-Aid need to talk about it. <br />Happy Pizza and Anything-But-Kool-Aid day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-11066806350025827212010-11-11T15:10:55.548+00:002010-11-11T15:10:55.548+00:00Fascinating:

For every sense of miraculous gratitude, there is, as you described, the accompanying feelings of guilt, defensiveness, shame, and on and one. Love holds the center, but what a sphere! Sometimes though all it takes is one thought—written or murmured aloud—to clarify matters. For me, it was your last line here. "We're so glad we're yours." THAT IS IT! Oh sweet child, glorious daughter: I am yours.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02647964918223241848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075858460867483977.post-6761061382852555362010-11-11T14:38:05.861+00:002010-11-11T14:38:05.861+00:00I can't believe it's been a year.
