For me, it's the issue of keeping a public record of my daughter's feelings. Our kids know the Internet better than we do and we have to be aware of their need for privacy. I get concerned about the details written about adopted kids at times, especially when it's a tender subject like roots, searching, reunion. If I'm going to say something private, I tend to post it on another person's blog where it is hard to trace as opposed to my blog where my child could find it. <br /><br />I also have the same "problems" you do. Adoption has, by necessity, brought pain as well as joy into my life. I think accepting that is part of understanding adoption. Thanks for posting this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655029441146664180.post-90448364180416800852009-07-10T16:23:00.640-04:002009-07-10T16:23:00.640-04:00I agree with Michelle - your success story makes m...I agree with Michelle - your success story makes me hopeful. I have had two cases fall apart so far, but I've only been going through the process for a short time, so I am still hopeful for my happy ending.<br /><br />I also share in your feelings of guilt though. It's hard to know that my dreams hinder on someone else's loss. The best thing to happen to me, will be the worst that happens to another woman. But I keep my focus on the child, that will be so loved, and I hope that the birthmother will be able to find peace in that.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908610779126488725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655029441146664180.post-45162286977577992892009-07-03T23:23:22.539-04:002009-07-03T23:23:22.539-04:00Thanks for this....I can see the other side, and I...Thanks for this....I can see the other side, and I too believe everything in this life happens for a reason...:)<br /><br />Your story should be shared....the beauty of it and the happiness, believe it or not it makes me very hopeful when I hear stories like your's..<br /><br />michelle :)StylinMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235521717778992493noreply@blogger.com
