Little is written about the stages of grief after adoption - and the feelings of guilt, inadequacy, and resentment from which some of us suffer.
We don't hear enough from birth mothers and birth fathers -- the people who could bridge the chasm between some adoptive parents and adoptees on key sticking points.
Yes, it's easy to forget sometimes that Anna was adopted. But that doesn't mean it's not a big deal, and that we shouldn't 'talk' about it even now.
No, adoption is not the path that I would have gone down had I not had my hand forced by five years of infertility and miscarriage. Still, it is a path I would go down a hundred times more for the love of a little girl who is my life.
As my good friend and mentor through adoption once told me, "adoption is a selfish act." Yes, it's true and I know it's hard to hear.
For five painful years, infertility placed a punctuation mark smack dab where a baby should have been.
