Sometimes it feels like my life is a movie and seeing as I'm really bad at coming up with titles, the title would be bad. This blog follows my journey through my personal adoption reunion.

ReplyDeleteI used to cringe when I would see adoptees say that they were "lucky" that they got the ap's they did. I don't anymore. Adoption is a crapshoot, and your mentor's son in law is another stat to back that up. If an adoptee does get assigned good ap's, then they ARE lucky, because many of us do not. Im glad your mentor gets it. Its nice when that happens.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice when that happens. I think it's a learning curve. I think I didn't get upset about her telling me I was lucky was because she was basing that off of facts, like the fact that her SIL had crappy parents and I didn't. It wasn't just a blanket statement, it was an observation. What a difference that makes. I am lucky, considering what others have gone through. It really is a crapshoot.
