I just returned from an adoption finalization that was very empowering. Two children who were placed in February and REALLY hard. The family has done awesome with them. It was pure joy to see these very cute kids get a forever home.
I haven’t heard yet how the visit with Mike went, but today is one of those days when I feel like what we (as in us adoptive parents) are doing is well worth the effort. Giving kids permanency, at the risk of our own sanity, is what they HAVE to have. We need to continue to live knowing that it isn’t about us.
Watching kids heal, slowly, is both a painful process and a very gratifying one. And there’s still nothing that beats the feeling of knowing that I was a part of making a forever family a reality for a child.
