Continued........

To wish I had not been adopted would be to wish him out of my life, which would break my heart. I am a true Daddy’s Little Girl even at the age of 36, we talk several times a day on the phone. I knew as a teenager that I was given the amazing gift of adoption through my parents and I knew that I would one day adopt a child. I believe in my family we have a circle of love that continues on through adoption. I would feel honored one day to get a phone call from one of my children saying that they were going continue the circle of love through adoption.

The adoption of my children has been an amazing and wonderful blessing in my life. I am blessed with the honor of being an adoptive mother to my wonderful children. I thank God every day that adoption is part of my life as an adoptee and as a mother.

I just try to share an insight to adoption as an adoptee. I do not sugar coat things to make them sound better or to paint a pretty picture because the truth is adoption is not always a bed of roses. It has even been my intention to make adoption seem bad or negative in anyway. If I have done this I am sorry. I am not an expert on being adopted, I have just taken the journey and sharing my views, thoughts and paths that I experienced with adoption. I hope that I have not totally communicated my writings in a negative light because that is not how I wanted them seen.

I do hope this has given some insight on my views, cleared up some misconception, and answered some questions.

Abby, thanks for the post. I would take issue with your statement that you are not an expert at being adopted. You lived through it, you know what it feels like to you, surely that does make you an expert.

Most of us who adopt are not adoptees. That leaves us with a gapping whole in helping our kids. What does it feel like, and not just the 'nice' feelings. What things would we do differently as adoptive parents, if we knew what it felt like.

If you have a child who was molested, there is a huge volume of information to help understand what your child is dealing with. I would guess that most of us know some adults who were adopted, but it would be tacky to press them for their inner most thoughts on the subject. Your viewpoint is almost unique, you are an adoptee and an adoptive parent, what a great perspective.

You and Jan Baker share some important things in common, even though you both blog in different areas. You both stand on the other side of the track to some degree, with a perspective that we can't have. You are also both excellent writers, with the ability to keep our intrest, say aome things that might not be so comfortable, and communicate so that it makes us think.

Thanks for your post.

John
