  5. Positive Adoption Language

    in Looking to Adopt

    Posted

    Kristal,

    You have a point, but there are some people who do wish that life gets wonderful for their kids birth parents. That's the prayer I say every single time for my sons birth moms, I hope and pray that that they find a way to peace and happiness. That they are able to meet the needs of the children they do parent without struggle and stress. I pray that they find love and joy. I pray that they will stay in our lives so that they will always know the sons we share. When families here on the forum are joining thru adoption, I know that some pray for placements to happedn, but I am sure may are praying for birthfamilies and peaceful hearts, better days and bountiful lives..no matter what happens with the adoption process.

    Hugs to you and yours....How is your beautiful Karina these days?

    Mari, I continue to be amazed at all your family has gone through and how amazingly your daughter and granddaughter are doing! I'm sure that graduation was a huge celebration!

    It was, and WE ARE STILL CELEBRATING....Even though she started college this week, and we have talked about the next graduation in a few years (college)..Due to some of her friends still having their graduations that we have attended, it just keeps going..I am sure eventually it will run out of steam, but I rather be here doing this then where we were not too long ago.

    Which brings me to this:

    Just as my family celebrates my daughter’s high school graduation and my sister in laws college graduation accompanied by family and friends, we have joined many of our family friends as they also celebrate these huge milestones. I know there must be other families on the forum who are also celebrating graduations. Just want to send out this pray to all GRADUATES AND A BIG CONGRATS with Blessings from our family to yours.

    Graduation Prayer

    Dear Lord,

    I have knowledge, so will You show me now,

    How to use it wisely and find a way somehow

    To make the world I live in a little better place,

    And make life with its problems a little bit easier to face.

    Grant me faith and courage and put purpose in my days,

    And show me how to serve Thee in effective ways.

    So my education, my knowledge and my skills

    May find their true fulfillment as I learn to do Thy will.

    And may I ever be aware in everything I do,

    That knowledge comes from learning, and wisdom comes from You.

    Amen.

    Well said - I will be "borrowing" this for my God daughter's graduation Sunday

    Awesome post Dale! As woman who begged God to be a Mom, but had no really desire to experience pregnancy I would your post perfect! I would have attempted the pregnancy route had I found the right man, because thats what people do...right? :huh: But only as the means to an end - parenthood. But I have to agree with you - whay can't adoption be the 1st choice- no matter the reason.

    I get what you are saying here Elizabeth, I wondered that too... Would the birthmom be heartbroken to find out that before the baby was 2 months old that the parents she picked had split if her "dream" for the child was to be raised in a two parent household? And not that it would have any "legal" merit...would she have wanted to know or been consulted about the idea of re-choosing since seemily placement had just occurred...hard to know what is right...I certainly would hope that she might have been told about it prior to it being People Magazine headlines. But I think Sandra is a class act all the way around - and I hope there is ongoing communication - since thats reaaly the key in getting thru any situation.

    BTW- Sandy- from the transracial single Mom crowd - we are open to having playdates -anytime...call me! :D:ph34r:

    What???????

    That would look great as part of a home study! Seriously sister, if you know how to stay in shape then allowing a natural process to occur in your body shouldn't be a big issue. See Heidi Klum...

    But that's not really the attitude that would lend someone to be a good mother- no matter how the child arrives in her life!

    Stick to what you are good at Jillian....

    Mari,

    I have no words or insight that will take away the pain you feel. But just when you think you might be alone, remember that many of us on the forum feel connected to you and your journey. We are here to support, and love you, your daughter, your granddaughter, her parents and all that touch your heart as you have touched so many.

    May the blessing of health be yours

    Hugs
