Dear Adoption

I know that you and I have had our ups and downs. You've taken me to both the highest highs and the lowest lows of my entire life. There are days I embrace you, love you and are so glad that you are a part of my everyday life - and there are days I want to rid you from my existence for ever.

Today I am really angry at you. I am mad adoption - really mad. I am mad about the choices you have made for my family. I did not plan for my son to be an only child this long and I resent dealing with these "center of the universe" issues we've been dealing with. This is YOUR fault adoption - YOURS.

I am a good mom. I have put my son in activities, programs and scheduled NUMEROUS playdates to try to teach him kindness and compassion. How many other parents invite the entire hockey team over for a pizza day? Yet here I am STILL strugging with a child who is strongwilled, controlling and lacks the empathy that I have been trying all of these years to instill in him.

Do you know what it's like to be told by the preschool teachers "well, this is what happens alot with only children" when they discuss how he is hurting other kids feelings by excluding them or bossing them around? When all you've wanted for the past 2 years is to make him NOT an only child?

This is YOUR fault adoption. You are making bad decisions on my behalf and you better get your act together soon or you and I will no longer be friends.


Sincerely
Fed Up
