This contest I am part of has been amazing (don't worry, it is going on through next Thursday, so you can all still vote!!! :) It is incredible the response, and I LOVE reading the comments on Seriously So Blessed. It makes me feel so blessed. I would love to win, but even if I do not, the comments and support are overwhelming and my heart just feels like it is going to burst with the love I feel from all of you! The other nominated women are truly inspirational, and it is a privilege to be counted amongst them!!! So THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU to all of you that have voted!
P.S. I saw the baby yesterday, that almost could have been ours. He was cute, and tiny. I would have loved him to be mine, but it is okay. (Lilly and Ryker were so dang cute that I have a high standard of cuteness;) I have done ALL within my power to NOT see Tory. She is just a sweet, foolish, and naive young women, and she honestly feels she is being an example to young single mothers out there, that they can do it. This goes against all that I know to be right, but she does have her free agency, and I can respect that.
Is this tory powell? Is that who you were trying to adopt from?Just curious!
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely appalled that you had contact with this selfish woman, even if it was only through her child. You're far too soft of a soul to have to endure this on top of everything else. As a woman in pain, as a woman who has lived for years in bitterness and anger at the loss of children who will never be mine - I have your shining example of grace. Your grace in these times of trial should be an example to all women, everywhere. It is through your eyes that I see a glimpse of the beauty left in this world. It is through your goodness that I might see the good in others. It is through the bond of sisterhood that I feel your love.
ReplyDeleteThat had to be horrible to see her. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteMy MIL has adopted two children that were horribly abused( in all the ways children can be abused :( ) The worst thing is that they bio parents didn't face much prison time. My MIL is an RN and had even ran into the birth mother at the hospital she used to work at. The birth mother had no idea that my MIL has the children, but it was very hard on my MIL to know what the kids went thru and that the parents still aren't put away.The oldest sibling has never been able to find a forever family because of the mental results of the abuse she suffered. My MIL tried to adopt her, but it fell thru. A family did adopt her but it was interrupted after she threaten to kill them. I had wanted to adopt her but my husband was not in agreement, and really I know now that she needs a family that doesn't have other children. It is all so very sad. I also used to do respite for a child that had brain damage from shaken baby syndrome. She will never walk or talk and her mother never did any time. She just had to give up her rights. I do not understand our system that says it has the children s best interest at heart, when that is a blatant lie!
