I love reading your comments.
I started the blog to chronicle our adoption journey. But then it sort of morphed into our life post adoption. Most of my friends and family don't even know about this blog. I think that is why it is so easy for me to talk about the negatives as well as the positives.
Last year I started reading blogs of people who were waiting to bring home their Taiwanese children, mostly looking for any clue as to what our timeline would be. Now I also read blogs of people who have brought home older kids. I like to read blogs that tell it like it is. So I try to be real in my blog. I hope that maybe someone can gain something through my experience, even if it is what not to do. I really do appreciate all of your comments.
I just wanted to say this, so that you know. Thanks for reading and for commenting. I have met so many new people since I entered the blog world. I feel as though I have made some cyber friends and I do pray for those of you waiting to bring your children home. (And special prayers for those of you who have already brought your children home!)
And I, for one, love reading your blog! Thanks for keeping it real!
ReplyDeleteAnd we love reading your blog....and seeing the faces of your beautiful children.....
ReplyDeletethat means so much, we haven't brought our daughter home yet, but echo much of what you said. Appreciate you posting it all, if more people posted honestly as you do, I truly think more eyes would be opened to adopting older children. So happy things are going well with Meghan but also happy that you post the challenges met as well. Wishing you all the best!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your story.
ReplyDeleteLike yourself, we started reading blogs to learn of timelines and better understand the process. What we found is a community, who honestly share the love for their children, along with the joys, hopes, and setbacks that we all share as parents (or hopeful parents).
We are very appreciative and thankful to you for sharing your family's story. Your posts have led us to many meaningful discussions. We laugh and cringe with you as we walk along a similar path.
Thank you for the honesty. Your are a wonderful mother to your kids.
I also have loved your post. We are about two or three weeks behind you and it helps me on those rough days to know that it is normal to have those hard times or frustrating moments. Thank you so much for being honest about the good and the bad.
ReplyDeleteI need to introduce myself. We looked into Taiwanese adoption several years ago, but God led us on a different path and we adopted a little girl from China two years ago.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your honesty. There are definitely ups and downs, and I have learned a lot and have been comforted by many other families who have been kind enough to share their experiences.
Hang in there-- you are doing a great job and it really does get better and better! :)
I am so glad that I have "met" you here and I look forward to checking in and seeing your blog! I appreciate you "keepin it real" and sharing your joys and struggles.
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and how real you keep it!!
ReplyDeleteYour family is beautiful!! I like to keep up with y'all.
