This is a post written by a friend in response to the many negative comments written about my sharing the difficulties I had bonding with Eliza. It is excellent and well written and well worth your time to read it.

A NOTE TO THE READER: This is one post in a series of posts that will share the story of how I came to know and grew to love my daughters who were adopted at fourteen years old, mere days before they aged out of the adoption system. It does not reflect my feelings now. […] Read more…

My Long Day
I pulled in the driveway this morning after an early morning errand, and was immediately met with a very dejected Eliza. Before I had even shut off the car, she opened the door with tears streaming down her face. “Mommy, I have something tell you.” She said tremulously.

Thank you all so much for your prayers as we all continue to heal.
Blessings!
Packed and ready to go!

She walked quite a long way out of her room, and even went up and down four steps today. You can see the pink walls that are her bedroom.
She’s still in so much pain when she moves, but she is really working […] Read more…
