I am not an adoptee, but am soon to be an adoptive mom (court on July 14) and your stories are making me cry with joy. I am so excited about adopting my child that it pains me to read the posts about all the pain adoptees experience b/c I don't want my son to have that pain. I know every one's experience is different and I am glad to be aware of the issues he may face, but it makes me feel so happy to hear that not all have that experience. I feel so lucky that he is going to be my child and my only hope is that I can fill his love with joy and happiness. My whole family is also overjoyed. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
