Parenting is a lifelong journey. It doesn't end at 18 and what your children need from you changes as the years go on.<br /><br />As a (wanna be) adoptive mom I read this and I wonder how easy it is to go into a lifelong commitment for open adoption? Its not really about 18 years...its about life. Its about sharing your experiences as a parent with your child's birth mother----for life...and I wonder if like you, years from now I will find more grief "just when I thought I had it all figured out."<br /><br />So much to contemplate and pray over.Karin Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516662405528660516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2954722762708102532.post-51186723998522595482010-08-11T13:48:54.467-07:002010-08-11T13:48:54.467-07:00I was reading your blog last night and almost sent...I was reading your blog last night and almost sent you a link to my post.
