My family got out of town for a few days and we are all refreshed and new again (we went on a camping trip and watched the wonderful meteor shower in the wide open sky! It was awesome!) I tend to get worn down when dealing with negativity and this board was really getting to me. I originally wanted to discuss issues that bother me about adoption but I did not want to come across as bashing adoptive parents who chose to adopt healthy babies. I know that when I had my biological children I desperately wanted them to be healthy so it is wrong of me to tell others not to adopt these kinds of children. I just wanted to share the joy that my family has found in a child that the world does not truly value. Nickster, I just felt like I had contributed to the negativity and made you feel defensive...thank you for responding above and telling me that I had not done that. I admire you and love the way you talk to people without attacking...you are the kind of person I would pick as a friend. CP, I also admire you and your family's decision to help these kids...you are making a strong committment to them and I can see that you are ready for the challange! I also love chatting with Cynic here...I like to find people who have walked different paths than I have and learn from them and Cynic is always rational and wise. I think I will come back once in a while and see what everyone is talking about...but I just don't want to get into arguments here where we cannot see the pain we cause in the face of the person we are talking to. God bless you and your families!
