I am going to read more on the link - We "think" the birth family / birth mom loved our daughter, but how do we "know"? We are as honest as we can be, but I often wonder what she'll think herself as she gets older. We try so hard to present facts only and let her formulate her own thoughts. But when she says "Mom, do you think my birth mom loved me?" we love her so dearly, we can't imagine any other scenario. She was wrapped in adult clothing and placed at the gate of the orphanage (like Maya). And if the answer were different, how would we know? So we say "this is what we think...." and hope she'll feel open to us to discuss what SHE thinks and feels, too.<BR/>OK I am going to click on the link now....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-16563313330918987902008-09-18T13:50:00.000-05:002008-09-18T13:50:00.000-05:00LOL!

I get the same WOW feeling when someone links to me!<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure where I found you -- I'm just glad I did. :) It was probably on the blogroll of an adult adoptee's blog. I go looking at adoptee blogs all the time. If you read anything in your visit here, you know that my 7-year-old is grappling with the loss of her family in China. Anything I can learn about what she might be thinking and feeling is so helpful to me.malindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233439015219192874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-35027504688474180162008-09-18T12:51:00.000-05:002008-09-18T12:51:00.000-05:00Wow.You linked to my blog. :) How did you manage t...Wow.<BR/><BR/>You linked to my blog. :) How did you manage to come across me (or should I say both blogs)?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm quite flattered to know that you're helping to spread the word about Sister Heping - it's always good to keep reaching out about adoption and educating who we can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
