I loved it. <br />I know so many people who walk into foster care/ adoption with the "I will love them and that will be all it takes!"<br />Um no. It takes so much more than love. It takes walking through fire. It takes learning new parenting methods. It takes accepting that this child will give you all their hate and fear and blame you for past trauma. You have to learn how to help a child manage some serious loss and REALLY step outside yourself, because the reality is you HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT LOSS FEELS. You have to be forgiving of birth parents. You need to see the positive in them, because your child NEEDS THAT. <br />Sorry that I do go on! It's something that I am passionate about. Adoption is wonderful. But more people need to go into it with their EYES WIDE OPEN and not blinded by the idea that love will fix everything.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295714433164887820noreply@blogger.com
