Although it has been over a year that I have posted to this Blog, there is not a day that goes by that I do not think of them. Now Angel is 11 and Armoni is 10. I hope they think of us as well.
I try to refrain from resentfulness and vengenfulness, those are not christian qualities nor are they healthy ones. I often wonder how I would react if I some day see Angel and Armoni at the super market or in the park with their adopted mom, Kathy H-B. I would like to ask her why she felt she had to change their names or why she felt that we should not have contact with them or prevent them from having contact with their siblings. More importantly, does she feels that such acts are more harmful than helpful? Or would I just politely greet her and give my grandbabies the kind of hug one gives to a love one who they know they will never see again? I hope I have that opportunity.
Adoptive parents need to know the importance of the children's biological families. After all if it was not for the biological families the children would not be here.
On the flip side of the coin there are adoptive parents that welcome the biological families to be a part of their family. One such family is the Singer family. They have had several foster children in their home and have now adopted them. They tiredlessly work along with the biological families, as long as there is no physical danger to the children, to raise their children in a emotionally healthy environment. My heart and love goes out to parents such as the Singer Family. May more adoptive Family following their example.
