Thank you for always shedding light on the importance of our responsibilities as part of the adoption triad.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696005345944445014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077471860024761518.post-57556435098003201522010-03-13T15:14:06.194-08:002010-03-13T15:14:06.194-08:00I received an email today from our agency (YWAM) T...I received an email today from our agency (YWAM) That the Ministry of Women's Affairs in Oromia is open again! The little girl we are trying to adopt wasn't effected by the closure but I remember reading that yours was! Praise God for his faithfulness! I nearly cried when I saw a few old faces back on site that had been taken off due to the closure! God is indeed faithful and desires a home for each and every one of his precious ones -- Especially your Baby D! :) How much are you hating the adoption roller coaster?Meliskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110415935998019937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077471860024761518.post-56452575378628493152010-03-13T13:14:00.484-08:002010-03-13T13:14:00.484-08:00So agree with your encouragement of readers not to...So agree with your encouragement of readers not to judge, etc. I think there is another reason (a spin off of #1). Families return home and disrupt; ET is made aware through lack of post-placements and feels its children are not being cared for.<br /><br />As a mom to a child with SN not revealed before I adopted him, I believe it is critical that families share the truth. Whether other PAPs / APs agree is for them to decide, but we have to stop pretending that adoption is all rainbows and unicorns. It's so difficult, but so worth it in the end.<br /><br />Congratulations on your referral!Shelbyhttp://www.malodorousmesses.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077471860024761518.post-50570913747679135332010-03-13T11:43:44.716-08:002010-03-13T11:43:44.716-08:00Very well said!Very well said!Charity Hildebrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475148699482240635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077471860024761518.post-47834730523518270392010-03-13T09:46:18.143-08:002010-03-13T09:46:18.143-08:00I love when you talk about this stuff.
