Congratulations!!!! It's a tough job, but I'm so glad you've been called to it (and adoption is a calling). I am so happy for the both of you!
It takes people like you to wake the rest of us up to the truth of things. Your sensitivities are essential to making the world at large a more sensitive and aware place.
Thank you. I try not to drag out the pity card too often, but it has been very tough for my sister and I (we are not blood related, but adopted by the same family) to gain acceptance from other members of the family. Not to mention school guidance counselors, friends, even some of our boyfriends have said hurtful things without even thinking of it.
So...in short, thank you! And again, congratulations! -hugs-
