My blood boils at the thought that my daughter could be bullied, not by kids but adults responsible for her, like kindergarten aids or teachers. I hear of all these stories…
Our journey ahead is long, but not for the reasons you might think. Yes, there will be an internal discovery process, emotional healing etc, and maybe the harsh outside world will actually contribute to her development. (Many of my teachers were harsh and abusive, but some of them built unshakable strength in myself, for which I am grateful.)
I think adoption is such an amazing thing. And I think my daughter is such a delightful miracle, that I want to tell everyone about her, and about our long crazy journey to come and be matched with her.
Jaclyn is mine. She is my daughter. My beloved and my delight. Anyone who would tell me, for whatever reason, that she is not worthy, I would challenge the very essence of their own integrity and worth. Watch out for mama-bear.
