Tomorrow will mark three months since my darling daughter was placed in my arms. Nothing has been the same since, and I can honestly say that my life has become whole. The only way I can liken the feeling that follows me throughout the day is this..... it's as though my being was sand, and my daughter is the wave that has just washed over me, filling every orifice, every molecule of my soul with her energy, making me complete.
We couldn't be more Mother and Daughter if I bore her as my Mother bore me, with the exception, that I've breathed, eaten, and slept our union in my heart, my mind, and every breathe that I have breathed.
I've always heard talk of offensive comments made by some ignorant people. It was something that I heard happened to those that have adopted, but not having made it too that point yet, and not having actually been in that situation, I didn't pay much attention.
Recently, since I've been out and about with my little girl, I've come into two situations that had me thinking. Stupid comments that I don't even care to mention now, but two times it made me remember others that were often upset by such things...... tonight, on the other hand, I actually was flawed...... tonight, I actually heard someone say, what's with all these "old women having babies".... they meant that for me, as I was the only one there with a baby..... two seconds after this comment left this a-holes mouth, they noticed I was there and said hello..... I just said, "what did you just say"?? At least he had the decency to repeat what he said..... I, stupidly just let it go..... WOW, there really are such uncaring, JERKS out there...... I need to be more prepared in my handling of these encounters, so as to not upset my daughter. She was right there with me every time this has happened, I need to protect her.
Oh well, there is only so much time I will invest in stupid people and their stupid, STUPID comments.......
ahhhhh, I think there are brownies cooling, and they need my attention!
We started this journey many years ago, knowing that our daughter was waiting for us somewhere in China. That journey began in 2004, but after a setback healthwise, we had to pull out, thinking our hopes were dashed forever. Then in late 2005, with renewed purpose and strength we again began the process of our adoption. We were logged into China March 28th, 2006, and were matched with our Dear Daughter, October 13th, 2009. GOTCHA 12/14/09 Forever Ours 12/15/09
