Adoptive parents,
If you are disconnected with your adopted kids do you have flashbacks to when they were in your life?
I have flashbacks at times and then I remember that we are not connected and she is fast making memories with the ones who didn't raise her but gave her life...
The flashbacks reinforce the fact that I did raise someone, even though they are not in my life any more...so, they are not all bad and sad, etc.

memories make me happy. I think of my little ones walking down the street with their pig tails flapping in the wind and as I watch I am so blessed to be their mom. my daughter was so fun when she was young. It makes me smile to think about it. My daughter is gone but my memories I cherish. There are some bad memories but I don't dwell on them. The good ones make me smile. I am blessed to have been my daughters mom.

my daughter too is making memories with her birthparents. It saddens me that she is no longer making memories with us but I will always have my memories of her growing up. I keep them close to my heart.

AMEN...
