I have to give a shout out to my dear friend Carolyn who has shared so openly about the amazing strides her son Henry has taken since he’s been home. When I met Henry a few months ago, he was a handsome little boy. But now these photos say it all — he shines from the inside and has truly blossomed under the constant loving and dedicated care of his very special Mama. Just beautiful! Please read from the beginning to see Carolyn’s journey. I love her honesty and perspective. Feel free to comment on her blog — just go to Home then Journal and then Guest Book. It’s easy!
Had a great visit with Katherine tonight, our first meeting — had the chance to see her on her vacation to the East Coast. She’s on the same path as me — two homegrown girls ages 3 and 6 and about to apply (most likely) to JHA shortly. I am glad I took the chance to say hi when I saw her introduction on the yahoo group. It will be great to share the journey with another. We share the same thoughts on this process and so much to talk about with our girls, etc. Yet another lovely person has entered my world.
By the way, run out and get China Ghosts: My Daughter’s Journey to America, My Passage to Fatherhood by Jeff Gammage — Such a magnificent book! He’s a reporter – not only is the book emotional and beautifully written, but historically right on. I continue to be moved to tears, inspired and hopeful with each page. For any parent regardless of where or how your child came to you, this book is a must read memoir about the power of a parent-child love. Just beautiful.
