I am assuming this is something for our lovely National Adoption Awarness Month..it looks like they are running an adoption related blog everyday for the month… or i am indeed cementing my lameness by just noticing this and it is here all the time???
In anycase, worth a read.. worth a comment if you are so inclined… and I think my new favorite quote just came out of it:
<
Adoption isn’t just about destiny, circumstance and self-congratulation for “saving” a child. It’s also about the consequences of conscious decisions made for adoptees supposedly “in our best interest.” Regardless of whether it’s for better or worse, adoption is the power to change a life and as the saying goes, “With great power, comes great responsibility.” My history had been hidden and altered, affecting my life in ways I’m only beginning to understand.
Yuk.
I read two now and they both make me sad.
Yuk.
Any story that goes on about how great it is not to grow up with your real mother isn’t something I want to read right now….
Did I say Yuk?
