Mon, 05 Jun 2006 03:55:34 +0000 http://wraithswrealm.com/blog/2006/05/16/the-greatest-of-these/#comment-325 Hi, I just joined chosen babies and found you through them. I've had many of the same feelings about myself as a parent. Perhaps we "need" the clarity that adulthood brings. But in having children, we are presented with a gift. Part of that gift is that we get to again view the world through a child's eyes. Patience, on the other hand, is not a gift. It's something you have to actively work at. Oh, or maybe that's just me. ;) Hi, I just joined chosen babies and found you through them.

My little girl got to ride in her first grand entry in a rodeo here in Vernon, Texas. The rodeo announcer, Hadley Barrett, pointed her out in the crowd in the arena not just once but twice. I was absolutely screaming in the stands. That's my girl I am sure that you can see that. It was done in front of a group of people that can not stand me. It made me happier than donkey at an a$$ kicking contest. That is the Texan in me. So it made my day. I wish our birthmothers could see our kids. I have come to one conclusion. They are rejected themselves by rejecting us. Kids are great aren’t they!! My little girl got to ride in her first grand entry in a rodeo here in Vernon, Texas.

I am a fellow adoptee however, and I have been so touched by your site. Perhaps because I feel like I am just a hair's breath away from being the birth mother to a son. I am not, I am the mother to a son. I don't know if it's ok that I leave you a message, because I don't know you, I am new to this. But you were one of the ones I posted about in my blog tonight. As a mother, I am sending you stranger momma love for what its worth. Just as a reminder, when you are down and out and lonely, there is a whole universe of love supporting you. And I am so sorry that your mother is so afraid. What a price both of you pay for that fear. And I hope you don't delve into the levels of grief I did, but I fear there is no escape Hey you ever read Vonnegut? an adoptive parent. Hi

You may have lost your ability to smell the roses for awhile, but, I'm betting you'll get it back - when it is time. I know that I lost that ability to enjoy all that I loved most during early reunion - but, I know too that eventually I got it back. One of my husband's favorite things about me is my enjoyment of so much - birds - flowers - nature - new experiences. He worried when I lost it for awhile. You will get it back too!
