I sincerely hope my post last night didnt offend anyone. I cant help not feeling some of the emotions being expressed. Did I before? Oh, sure. During our years of fertility treatments. For some reason, though, as soon as we started this adoption journey, all that went away. Its like a sense of peace came over me. My biggest issue is the negativity, verbally attacking behaviors towards others (family, friends, social workers, etc.) and the disregard for others feelings. If youre hurt by a baby announcement or baby shower invite, speak up. Share your feelings! Say, deep down, Im so happy for your news, but Im personally struggling right now... Ive seen more f-bombs in one sentence over a baby shower invite from a family member than I care to read any more. Life around us doesnt stop because we struggle to complete our family. I dont want people to feel Im not approachable or feel like they have to walk on egg shells around me! They deserve to live life too! This is our journey, the adoption path. For others, their path allows them to have children naturally. I know it takes exceptional people to make an entirely new path from these two. I admire your strength and your appreciation for your own personal blessings. I am prepared for a bumpy road. I know its not going to be perfect. Ill repeat myself and say, I want to enjoy what I DO have around me... great friends, loving family, a supportive husband and a crazy dog! I pray that God gives you abundant blessings... whether theyre in the form of many friends, children, cats/dogs, nieces, nephews, etc. Sending out hugs to you all!
