This blog really resonates with me. ...Wow jennifer! This blog really resonates with me. First, you are an amazing writer. Second, you are an amazing mommy. You and I have had a number of conversations about being adopted children and I believe you're self reflection as an adopted child has been incredibly beneficial as a mother of an adopted child, soon to be two. I'm so touched by this blog and wanted to say thanks for sharing your thoughts. You are amazing. We miss you terribly!Tonya Riegelsbergernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417966621715431111.post-5531202556297929262009-06-20T09:13:00.097-04:002009-06-20T09:13:00.097-04:00Your post on this subject is thought provoking.

When I think of Lauren and how difficult the next transition will be I too hope that the challenge and relisiance will not permmantly change who she is deep down. I think that those of use who chose to build our families through adoption are especially tenderhearted. That compassion and love are what help our children let go of thier defense mechanism and be free to grow and love. At least that is what I hope. Big things to consider. Great post. Thanks for sharing your heartfelt words so generously.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480870137936761557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417966621715431111.post-88602253266835097062009-06-19T21:14:10.341-04:002009-06-19T21:14:10.341-04:00Gosh, that sure got me thinking and though there m...Gosh, that sure got me thinking and though there may be several answers to your questions, I think no one answer reflects every child or responds to every situation, all of the time. I also think that if anyone was going to attempt to write a manual, maybe you should be the one! <br /><br />This was a beautiful and insightful post, made all the moreso because of your constant ability to look beyond your own needs and place your babies needs above all else. Beautiful because you are asking the hard questions.....beautiful because you challenge us to ask and reflect on the tough issues....beautiful because it speaks so fully of the tremendous love you have for your children and the strong faith that simply must accompany this journey: both the adoption journey and simply the journey of parenthood.<br /><br /> Wei-Che will be welcomed as a blessing and accepted for all that he is......that alone is a gift beyond measure and speaks volumes of your resiliency Mama! :)<br /><br /> Big hugs and wishes for a grand weekend!! I'm gonna look at that little guy now!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185447510541745836noreply@blogger.com
