Thank you for sharing Kristin. I remember being in Russia with you when Luke was coming home. You and Anthony are a blessing and inspiration to many! Yes, sometimes people can be insensitive. A lady told me, “Well you took the easy route.” Really? God knows what all we went through and I know that was part of his perfect plan to create our family with an unbreakable bond and love for each other!

I have been through rough pregnancies, labor, delivery, new borns, and am now on the ground in Ukraine “just adopting”. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.

Can a 2 year old experience the same feelings as your son? My wife and I are foster parents who are open for adoption. Our 2 year old foster child has been with us 6 months. Over the past few weeks she has been acting out more than usual and a bit aggresively at times. Not sure why this is but your blog got me thinking this could be one reason.

Comment on My Perfect Child by patty

I’ve been blessed by this article as an adult adoptee myself and as a potential adoptive parent in the future… The article articulated my true fears of adopting even though I thought I turned out “ok” as an adoptee. It made me redefine what a “perfect child” is.
