I was called stupid all growing up by my mom..."You never do anything right, how could you be so stupid", "you never finish anything, are you really THAT stupid"...and it does stick with you. Even now, in my 40's, I'm very sensitive to anyone implying I did something wrong...they don't even Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706283861405699087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464200391439709655.post-37163503136131780782010-10-20T10:34:44.669-06:002010-10-20T10:34:44.669-06:00Hi Erin,

I really appreciate the input from a person with a perspective of having given up a child for adoption. It helps to put the bio mom's feeling into perspective about Kismet. I guess I have a hard time accepting the fact that a person could choose to do all the things she's done to Kismet and still claim to love her child, Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335143227705965644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464200391439709655.post-39093491152853527332010-10-20T09:36:22.038-06:002010-10-20T09:36:22.038-06:00That's a tough tough situation.

Even though I only read this one, I realize that there is a lot more I need to catch up on - the anger you have is extremely justified. <br /><br />Although I have a very different outcome, I can sort of see both sides of it... I had a child in 1994 who I gave up for adoption because I was in a similar situation.

We won't be dealing with her mother at all, since we are adopting Kismet and her bio mom is essentially out of the picture. However, we do have some concerns about her family, who live not far from us, and what happens when inevitably we run into them. We have to be prepared to make Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335143227705965644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464200391439709655.post-40419013835062103162010-10-17T02:08:17.902-06:002010-10-17T02:08:17.902-06:00The tsunami of your emotions sends smaller waves a...The tsunami of your emotions sends smaller waves across the globe and straight into my heart. In spite of all the things that are tearing you up inside, I am glad for you that you can express yourself well enough to get some of it out, share it with others and draw support that way.<br /><br />As a fellow parent, I wonder if you and Brad are getting some sort of therapy or counseling to help you Hysteriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092109319687738152noreply@blogger.com
