Today I actually looked a a few job possibilities outside of the adoption arena. I am having a very hard time remaining committed to working in the system when I see how many good people get hurt, mistreated, frustrated, manipulated, and damaged by the system. The kids are hard enough, but it is the system itself that is killing them/us.
And, my job as a professional makes me have to see it every single day, and my job as a parent makes me feel it and experience it as well. Sometimes I get overloaded.
I’ll feel better at some point, I’m sure, but this is the first time I have seriously considered walking away from it all and just parenting my kids and getting a job that ends at 5 p.m.
