Sometimes we put things out into cyber world without a clue as to what type of fruit, if any, it will yield. We have had alot of positive responses to this blog. Some have encouraged us beyond measure, some have thrilled us with their visions for the future of helping others understand the true meaning of adoption, and others have pointed out areas that need addressing. We are so grateful for honest hearts and passion for the cause.
One thing that was brought to our attention is the fact that, while encouraging adoptive families and those touched by adoption to post, we failed to recognize those that have been adopted. By my friend bringing this to my attention, it helped me to realize how, often times, we get so focused on our own involvement in situations,(or our "take" on matters), that we forget about those very ones that we are advocating for! I had to ask myself how often do I get on my soap box and preach about issues that seem to consume my very existence, and not see things through the eyes of those that are directly affected?
I have so much to share from the "adoptive Mom's" point of view, but, other than gleaning from my own daughters' experiences, I could never begin to truly share exactly the things that someone who has been adopted experiences. I hope that, over time, we will hear from others about the many different facets of adoption... particularly from the adopted.
In the coming weeks, I hope to share my own perspective as birth mother. I look forward to hearing from you!
