I think your question was legitmate and blondeangel has already said that she wasn't offended. I can't reinstate your original post but wanted to say that, as with every journey, you start by fumbling your way through, and you learn and grow into the journey as time passes. You may not kow the right words right now, but with the perspective of others, you will soon.
Good luck with your plans to adopt/undertake permanent care and I hope your dreams come true.
Dear BlondeAngel,
I had read this thread from it's inception so i know what the original post was about.
I really wanted to thank you and give you a huge amount of credit for what you have written. You write well, and clearly have a passion for getting your story across and educating people. I feel you educated me in that short space of time and gave me lots to think about. Being LTTTC we have discussed adoption many times, but have never taken it any further than a discussion. We never really saw it as a decision for a child, but a decision to make a family for us. We felt our intentions were good, but looking back they were primarily all about us.
As sushee said, it's a journey, and we might still make it one day, fumbling through, but i have taken on board what you have said and think you should be proud of yourself for your willingness to talk and help and educate others.
Also, thanks to Jacinta. You too have provided lots of info for us in the past (probably without knowing it) and we wish you all the best with your adoption journey.
Jacinta and Jo - thank you!
Once again, I really appreciate your support
It's such a small thing, taking the time to look at things from the child's perspective, but I truly feel that for those people who have or who are wishing to adopt, it is such a positive move for the wellbeing of your child.
