I found Love us, tell us, support us in Ramblings of a Shadow's blog very compelling. It was posted as a link at IAT.
When first person narratives offer insight into the thoughts of adoptees and confirm repeatedly what I am seeing in my own family and in others', it is a wakeup call to APs. It doesn't make our position as APs weaker, but it makes it stronger, if we can walk the walk with our children, no matter what age they are.
I chose this particular quote because it applies to much of life, not just adoption. Plus I've been talking about storms here. Muster the courage to take the step.
Sometimes you just need to have a little faith or at least the strength to step into the storm.
