The best way to empathize is to put myself in my daughter’s shoes, to see the journey through her eyes. I often quote her wittiness. So why not tell her story the way I remember processing the world when I was her age.
There are so many books about adoption. And I’m glad of it. We have resources and though I say there are so many, it is never too much.
So this is it. The plot of my first book. I will have to do some work, to go back to the journals where I have written things down about our story together, and think about how she may perceive or feel it all, and how she sees us. It will be fun, it will be hard, it will be eyeopening.
A work of fiction intertwined with reality, maybe a children’s book. A journey of understanding her, understanding adoption.

“I am. I am made in the image of God. The ingredients that form me are as pure as the most beautiful angels. In fact, my mommy tells me that a long time ago I was just a thought in God’s mind. That’s where my story begins…” that’s the beginning of my book as it gushes out of me…
