Great discussion!
To Stella: I understand your desire for biological children. I applaud your decision to adopt, not as a second-best option, but after your realization that this is God's path for you to achieve parenthood.
To Lizpappas: Thank you for the encouragement (and compliment) from someone in my daughter's shoes. I will certainly try my da**dest to make sure my precious daughter knows she's the best! We have a semi-open relationship with her maternal birth family and they are very kind, supportive people. I hope that having this relationship will prevent some of those "empty hole" feelings that so many adult adoptees feel these days due to the way things used to be done.
Blessings to you all!!!
Sarah
