And I don't think she will ever accept the truth. I once e-mailed her and suggested that she should rethink her idea that it is best that she maintain a relationship with the firstparents and family, but exclude her child from it (which is exactly what she said). GAH, her response just made me realize it was, um, really hopeless to get her to understand. And she thinks she has grown so much from her initial feelings about adoption. Maybe a little bit but not enough. I think I know who you mean. And I don’t think she will ever accept the truth.

Which is good. I'm also pretty sure I would want you that mad at me ;). Seriously, it is a shame that some don't take the time to learn, to have open minds, or to say, "wow. I had some of that wrong." I know I had some things wrong. And I probably still do, but I'm open to learning. I'll at least hear different opinions and then come to my own conclusions. Adoption is a complicated matter, after all. Nobody knows everything about it. Well, I’m pretty sure it’s not me. Which is good. I’m also pretty sure I would want you that mad at me ;).
