Comments on: Dancing With Maddie http://www.mochamomma.com/2008/10/16/dancing-with-maddie/ Good to the last blog Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:06:45 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Dana http://www.mochamomma.com/2008/10/16/dancing-with-maddie/comment-page-2/#comment-41027 Dana Thu, 27 Nov 2008 04:26:01 +0000 http://www.mochamomma.com/?p=1016#comment-41027 Kelly, this is so touching. I don't know how I missed this post until now, but it doesn't matter. Your words are loving and kind, filled with emotion and raw honesty. It doesn't get any better than this -- there's no other way to describe what your feeling and thinking than you have. I wish I had some magical advice to help you navigate this. All I can offer is a smile and a nod and a hug from afar. I don't know much about adoption, other than what I've read and heard from others, but it sounds like you and Maddie are doing what feels right to you both. Kelly, this is so touching.

Although from the other perspective (as the adoptive parent). Although this is the 1st post I've ever read of yours, I think I was meant to be here and subscribe to your blog! PS: I'm a former High School teacher and current Speech Pathologist in an elementary school :) I find it more than just a coincidence that I recently wrote about my dance with adoption and fertility.

My newest daughter joined our family through adoption at age 10 and has no living biological relatives. How I wish for her that she had some connection remaining. No matter what the result, be certain that it matters to your daughter very much that you are alive, tangible, available. Very much. Your honesty is beautiful. I'm new to this blog (came from anti-racist parent) but I'll be back. Thanks for sharing. How wonderful for both of you and if I were to be honest, I’d have to admit I’m a bit envious.
