• profile"The peace we seek to win is not victory over any other people, but the peace that comes with healing in its wings; with compassion for those who have suffered; with understanding for those who have opposed us; with the opportunity for all the peoples." -Richard Nixon

    If you take the time to read through these pages of my healing journey, you will see the hills and valleys. Those highs and lows continue to take me toward my ultimate goal: one of peace within, one of compassion for others who have been through their own hills and valleys and one of opportunity for all (also known as reform). I strive, at this time, to find that inner peace. Join me as I fail miserably each day but find faith and hope enough to wake the next morning and try again.

Need Your Help or… SURVEY FUN!

If you have placed a child and have since parented another, I may want to talk with you. I’m doing a survey for my adoptionblogs blog and need to speak with Mothers who have parented another child. This can be either before or after placement (meaning a child born and then placed another or a child placed and then parented another later). I will have two separate versions of the survey to fit both versions.

Please, if you are interested, leave your e-mail, your first initial and whether you’re a place first, parent second or a parent first, place second.

Disclaimer: Some, not all, of your responses will be used in a series on the Birth/First Parent blog. Your names will not be used, just first initial. If you want to make up an itial, go for it. This is not about pointing out who thinks what but an attempt to grasp how parenting is changed for Mothers who have placed children.

I look to write this series the week of Thanksgiving OR the following week, depending on results, participation and how active my brain function is after a week long visit with Munchkin and family… and BigBrother’s first birthday.

Also, if you know a Mother who would like to be involved in something like this, by all means, forward this around. Thank you for your help ahead of time.

PS - Miss you guys. :(
