She was in my bed and said just the same words "Why my birth mom gave me away? didn't she love me? I will never forget these words, with such a sorrow! <BR/>She also frequently says to me that I'm her truly mom. <BR/><BR/>Even they live very far away it seems they share many feellings.<BR/><BR/>I loved how you are able to express it all.<BR/><BR/>Marta<BR/>From SpainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26950015.post-22316351713178757502009-03-09T16:05:00.000-04:002009-03-09T16:05:00.000-04:00Such a lovely conversation - that's very much for ...Such a lovely conversation - that's very much for sharing this.

Your post brought tears to my eyes. In our Hague required education, we've read about stories like this and you know it will someday come up, but to hear how beautifully and powerfully you navigated the conversation is inspirational. Good job, Mom! It sounds like there is a lot of love going on in your home...<BR/>Be blessed,<BR/>CourtneySteve n Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724700180075017818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26950015.post-84586419265750832112008-08-28T12:31:00.000-04:002008-08-28T12:31:00.000-04:00My 6 yr. old tells me I'm her best mom too.

I am Denise, Lily and my son Gabe are in the same grade at school. we met on the Jamestown fild trip after we had just received our referral of our daughter. Well, I found your blog through another mom who is going to China from our town and I couldn't believe where your daughter is from...Maggie is also from Chengdu! They may have been together. Maggie was in foster care up until Dec 2007, but was at he orphanage from then until I went to get her in March 2008. Anyway, I would love to talk to you.

I think you should write a type of memoir-book someday about all of this. <BR/>Has it been exciting for Lily to watch the Olympics? love you! jennaJennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08944341342426033894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26950015.post-72956615899513848062008-08-14T13:58:00.000-04:002008-08-14T13:58:00.000-04:00Poignant.....My youngest one (now 3 adopted at 18 ...Poignant.....<BR/>My youngest one (now 3 adopted at 18 months) is struggling with the fact that her sister was here before she was. Lindsi will often refer back to something we did before Jami came home & Jami will argue for all she's worth, that she WAS HERE...she just can't grasp actually BEING in China. Although, if asked, she will tell you she's from China.<BR/><BR/>DebbyDebbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555423737900445968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26950015.post-30137026729154086412008-08-14T12:37:00.000-04:002008-08-14T12:37:00.000-04:00seems that you handled that one extremely well.
