YES. <br /><br />I think that a lot of us who were waiting together a few years ago are now all going through this next point in the adoption cycle and turns out that it's really hard too, huh? But in so many ways its' harder to write about because it's not just ourselves we're examining. <br /><br />Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. <br /><br />It really helps me to see that I'm not the only one freaking out about a whole bunch of thsi stuff at the moment. Okay, not freaking out, just feeling heavy-hearted.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09352341442556433375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615362949670528866.post-31656653279639328832011-07-08T21:44:55.067-06:002011-07-08T21:44:55.067-06:00keep writing....you express yourself so well.keep writing....you express yourself so well.fiddleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418194556734049016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615362949670528866.post-58346356295682374552011-07-08T20:19:19.513-06:002011-07-08T20:19:19.513-06:00Yes, I know the feeling.

Unfortunately we all know there are also crazies out there with access to public blogs. Arrrgghh! So frustrating! <br />D - did you go through AAI? If so, let's talk privately. I think it is worth trying to investigate BOTH of your children's histories.Amandahttp://www.at-the-watershed-blog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615362949670528866.post-50950522885257008722011-07-08T13:16:01.663-06:002011-07-08T13:16:01.663-06:00Just write, and write....Just write, and write....Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13790711152511868938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615362949670528866.post-12794779635854870182011-07-08T11:32:16.696-06:002011-07-08T11:32:16.696-06:00Oh, yeah.

Guess I have even more to say. Actuall...Me again. Guess I have even more to say. Actually, I want to ask a little bit more about the investigation of Ariam's past. Did you go through your agency to do it or use someone else? We are starting an investigation on one of our kids because there was some last minute information we learned during our Embassy trip that left an uneasy question mark that just wouldn't go away. Our agency agreed that it warranted more research and agreed to investigate before we waited the typically required one year post placement. Our other kid was abandoned many years ago so our agency won't do an investigation, but I wonder if it is fair to leave it at that or if we should see what else we might be able to learn. No pressure to respond to all of this (and I'm definitely not looking for any of Ariam's personal information - really just logistics). I can wait for a post, or if you feel like emailing me (dakotacorey at hotmail), or don't respond at all. Either way, try not to let the weight of all these things bog you down. Work through them at your own pace, give yourself a chance to walk away from them once in a while, and they'll probably feel lighter and not so overwhelming down the road.dcoreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180238652180198727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615362949670528866.post-15524663600793707102011-07-08T10:18:46.465-06:002011-07-08T10:18:46.465-06:00I'm right there with you.
