“Unless there is good reason for concern about a party having access to a child, it’s always better to err on the side of love.”

I love love love this.

I’d like to think life does that all on its own. I think I’ll leave the rest of this for email – but I think you’ll remember what it’s about.

*tight hugs* Love you – good morning! Somebody’s restless, so we’re out of here for the rest of the morning…

In a host of differing circumstances, i have been close to thwacking people who have tried to tell me how i should be feeling.
*grinds teeth and smiles*

As though we are all striving to be so much like their ever-so-perfect selves… *eyeroll*

It takes something faith-shaking for sanctimonius types like that to be reminded that they aren’t so well-adjusted and perfect after all.

Me… i like us just the way we are. Private stresses, public rants, hug, and all…

*tightest hugs and good morning*

A lot of the less shiny, happy parts of our own adoption are up in locked posts for that reason – wanting a bit more privacy. And of course, I don’t write about it all.

Some of that was a reaction, by me, to the distance between what was going on with us (especially in those first couple of years) and all the things that were written about in other people’s blogs; what I should be feeling. How I should be reacting. I think that might deserve another post – we’ll see whether I’m brave enough to lock it or leave it open.
