Thanks to Heather at Production Not Reproduction who is spear-heading awareness and partnership by hosting our Adoption Round Table. Also, thanks to Lori who gave the prompt this week. Lori is a member of an adoption triad who continues to interest me with her dynamic view of adoption.

Lori’s topic: Share your wish list for your open adoption

Here we go.

1. I wish I were invisible, so I could see my daughter’s birth parent’s often and learn things about my daughter and where she comes from.

2. I wish I could parent my daughter’s brothers.

3. I wish if my husband were to say, “that woman gave birth to my daughter” he would be pointing at me.

4. I wish the world would go away and stop judging my open adoption. FlyGuy and I are the captains of Little Lassie’s ship (for now) and we will always keep her in safe waters.

5. I wish LL’s birth parents could see how often LL has a bright, beaming smile.

6. I wish LL’s birth parents knew how often I think of them with gratitude and respect.

7. I wish my daughter could enjoy moments basking in her birth parents’ love and then come back to us knowing she belongs with us and everything is right with the world.
