This evening I started the ball rolling on
what I hope will be a worthwhile exercise and a useful forum for many! In the short time that I have been on
this road I have realized that although we all know a couple people who are in
the same boat as us - there isn’t
really a community to go to when it comes to support and advice. (Maybe there is and this will lead me
to them – so be it!)
I have also researched and observed
different reactions to cross cultural adoptions and I want very badly for the
children to feel like they are not alone. I want them to feel like part of a
very special group of kids who’s families are a little different in some
obvious ways but the really the same under the surface. I want to normalize things in the minds
of the children and I want them to be able to relate to one another freely.
The other beneficial aspect would be as far
as parenting is concerned – there is always so much to share and learn from one
another! Perhaps this will start
as an online forum and lead to regular meetings and play dates – who knows? I would like it to evolve naturally and
hope for lots of input!
