Your children, when they are old enough, will appreciate the respect you have for adoptees and their stories. True empathy … that’s what adoptees need.mothermadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805762605100898914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181953727519479153.post-70827209856129896842014-12-20T11:28:12.630-06:002014-12-20T11:28:12.630-06:00This is beautifully sad and so validating for many...This is beautifully sad and so validating for many of us.

I am an adoptive mother of 2 and I so want to listen to, and learn from, adoptees who have the courage to speak their truth. I am grateful for you and others who do.mothermadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805762605100898914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181953727519479153.post-46513961625618541042014-11-09T16:49:00.800-06:002014-11-09T16:49:00.800-06:00I can't relate to the pain of parenting becaus...I can't relate to the pain of parenting because, like your daughter, I don't want children. I think the aversion started as physical, when I was about 12, but it never went away. Now, years later, I know that the primal pain of loss that I was unable to face for so many years is a big part of that decision.<br /><br />I, too, am an adoptee, but I've never felt grounded enough to parent.mothermadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805762605100898914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181953727519479153.post-16466058538595417552014-11-02T14:27:13.650-06:002014-11-02T14:27:13.650-06:00Thank you Zeina.

The mere fact that you read my blog and felt my pain shows me that you value the adoptee voice and will value your children’s voices and their search for their identities.
