I'm glad things see...Thank you for the update. I'm glad things seem to be going fairly well. It's difficult; I can't imagine all the pain of it, myself. I remember, though, one mom I knew vaguely - but during her adoption journey we were communicating a lot. When they were in Russia she was so homesick she couldn't eat, and she actually decided to come home and go back to get their daughter because she was too upset being away from home for the extra week and a half, or whatever it would be. And, then - she had so little compassion for all her daughter had lost. She couldn't bear a week in Russia, knowing she'd go home again when it was over! Yet, she couldn't understand her daughter's anguish at giving up everything familiar, never (as far as she knows) to see it again. I don't understand that lack of compassion, and am so glad to hear it in your tone. Everything will smooth out eventually....Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.com
