If your in reunion and things just aren't going well remember my friends... In between the sunshine and the rainbows there is rain. Come in from the rain my friends. There still maybe a rainbow after the storm.

Peace to you all,
Jennifer

How beautifully spoken, yes we sometimes need a safe haven from the storms of life, but are not these storms also in the lives of not touched by adoption persons. I have seen on adoption sites so much anger, that sometimes while needing support from "people like me" an adoptee searching, an adoptee in beginning of reunion, the adoption sites became depressing. So much of life's anger was brought onto the site, and I cannot truly believe that all of lifes problems are caused by adoption. We all need to take lesson from your words, and our beloved Carol's. We need to contribute with a wholesome uplifting attitude, to be supportive with words of kindness, to be objective in a loving manner when some have lost their ability for the time being to think things over, and maybe for the time being just let it all rest for a little while. I tip my hat to you. I've taken a good lesson from your words, and proud to be the first to admit it.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
Sharon
