Since writing my post last week, about Appreciation vs. Entitlement, I have found that others are processing the same issues.

The blogging world has become an unexpected and much appreciated source of support in our Adoption Adventure.
Thanks ... all of you blogging friends.
Welcome to Our Journey of Faith. My blog is a place where I share the joys and trials of living a faith-filled life as the mother of an extra large (12 children) homeschooling family, and my prayer is that it brings encouragement to others to live their lives as an adventure of faith, as well.

I believe without my blogging friends and friends I've met in the adoption world, this would be a very lonely and difficult process. It's awesome to know that other people are in the exact same place. I don't think people who haven't experienced it realize how much adoption is a process in which pain, loss and sorrow are so intermingled with joy, happiness and hope for tomorrow for kids and parents alike. It is such a mix of emotions, and it's difficult to predict which ones will dominate for the moment. I can't tell you all how much I look forward to reading what's going on in your lives, and waiting for those awesome replies of "it'll be OK." Thanks to all my bloggy friends.
