Adoption is a long and complex process and we have to deal with a lot of things that we are not really qualified for, but, for the last 4 years I think we have managed really well.
This Lady C , I love her little sweet face, I often stare at her to try to understand how she feels as she is so very troubled, I try hard to help her but there are so many things I don't understand, how could I after all? who can really appreciate what she has been through? apart from her and her sister..
I do get stressed and frustrated and sometimes embarrassed as she is a bit like a box of chocolates....you never know what you are going to get...how she will behave , whats she will do or say next.
Christmas time is 'different' for us, children who have had very little find it hard to cope with it. So when I asked 'Lady C' what she would like for Christmas she only wanted 1 thing.......her tooth...we have waited and waited for months and months and months for it, she didn't want anything else.
Can you imagine the joy on her face when she woke up on Christmas morning with her missing tooth popping through, a little tear rolled down my cheek...her wish came true..
Bless her
How special that must have been for Lady C I bet she was absolutely thrilled!

Hi Jane, your blog brought tears to my eyes as I have a wonderful son & two dear little grandsons whom I treasure and sometimes forget what other's circumstances are ... thank goodness there are people like you to give those dear little girls such a loving home! Remember, your love is the most precious gift they could ever want! Hope 2011 is filled with happiness for you all!
