JustPeachy,
I agree that some of these judgments are plain silly, but some people I know who are wise, educated, good-hearted and very just, feel that giving up your own flesh and blood is heartbreaking. I cannot disagree with that. I would never - ever do that if I could turn back the clock. Iīm not about to, I am going forward with my life and trying to prepare myself before I finally meet my daughter.
My darling cousins who I love and I know love me... I know they think my parents made a bad choice and they think I should have done more.
What will my adoptive daughter do?
My fellow writers, my fellow professors at the University... they donīt want to talk about this. They donīt even want to rejoice with me. One good friend said: "I cannot deal with so much tragedy". Do I resign and start working in a gas station or live in hiding? No, I take that back.
I will just introduce her quietly into my life. Before they know, she is one of my family.
Love, Liliana
