I'm trying daily to stay positive and focused but sometimes impatience and frustration can get the best of you. This journey is not about getting the perfect child or just any child even but finding the right match for an entire family. We have grown to understand more about the possible situations we could face but know also that every adoption is unique. ~ How do you prepare for the unknown?
I recently read on an adoption forum the opinion that when you adopt, "you are breaking a family in order to make a family". I could not disagree more. Our intent is not to deny our child of their natural connection to their biological family. From our experience a family is hardly ever simple and can involve many layers of relationships. Chris and I are close to our families and have many friends that we consider family. Love isn't bound by DNA.
So new dawn, new day...we can only do what we can to reach out in hope that a connection is made that will complete our family.
