Adoption Brain
Sometimes I think I am going crazy! really, like I have some type of multiple adoption personailty disorder or something! I can be reading about reform and thinking , man I cant believe that and what is that adoptive mom thinking, and thinking how clueless some potential adoptive parents can be and then, Boom! I will read a blog and see someone waiting or struggling or just starting the process and I sympatize with them and hope their wait is short and congratulate them on being approved. Sometimes I feel like I flip flop alot, I mean on one big hand, I am a mom because someone else could not parent or made a choice not to parent, I am a mom because of another woman, I have my kids because of adoption, and then I look at adoption and see so many things wrong on so many levels, but I KNOW my kids were meant to be with me, I know this from deep down inside my very being, I love my children so so much and I am fortunate to know their adoptions were ethical and that gives me comfort and peace.

Well said!! Thanks for visiting my blog. Happy ICLW.
I don't know if I'd ever adopt. I know that there are kids out there that need a home, but I have this thing. I don't know what it is. I would totally do it but I don't think I'd ever feel like they'd be totally mine. And then I'd fear the parents coming around. Yea I watch too much Law & Order. And I'm paranoid enough as it is. ;) My thoughts would prolly change if it actually came into my hands. But who knows. I've thought about it... just don't know if I could actually do it.
You shouldn't feel bad about adoption! It's an awesome thing to do. :)
Well said. Granted, we haven't adopted yet, but so many things go through my head, and I wonder what I really think? Your two children are beautiful, btw. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy ICLW!
You've had the adoption experience first hand twice, you know the process, I can't imagine how you wouldn't see the complications but also the joy.
