Two ...Thank you for such a thought provoking post! Two thoughts come to mind that I would like to share. First - I have always been pro-choice (not hard core out protesting, etc, but still believe a woman has a right to choose). I've never had to personally face such a choice. Many of my close friends that know I am pro-choice thought that my believe about pro-choice was at odds with wanting to adopt a child. On the one hand how could I believe a woman had a right to choose to end a pregnancy, and on the other hand desire to adopt a child? I never thought there was a connection between the two, but for many there was.<BR/>Second - I wanted to comment on a Man's rights and how it seemed that they were overlooked or not even considered. I think many times when a birth Mother finds herself in a situation where she needs to put a child up for adoption there probably is not a strong Man standing next to her. The Man may have already walked out on her or show no interest in the child. Under these circumstances it would be easy to not even consider him when making decisions.<BR/>I'm looking forward to reading the collection of essay's. <BR/><BR/>KellyKelly Kucharekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103372216572930392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-86386440332925528302008-06-05T10:27:00.000-06:002008-06-05T10:27:00.000-06:00Hi, this is Julie here, John's wife.Thank you so m...Hi, this is Julie here, John's wife.<BR/>Thank you so much for all your encouragement and support and kind words. You are a real blessing to me. I appreciate your comments about thinking of perhaps wanting to support us financially or with more than just prayer, but I want you to know that I would for sure choose the prayer support and encouragement. The covering of prayer vital and coveted. Thank you,......And I love reading your blog.<BR/>Love JulieJulie and John Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496407132283564274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-82427028978160502882008-06-04T09:11:00.000-06:002008-06-04T09:11:00.000-06:00What a wonderful post.

I wish I could print this out and give it to every friend of mine who tells me to parent my kids the same as any other kids, and forget they are adopted. I can't do that, for just the reasons you mentioned.<BR/><BR/>Also, anyone who crticizes you for disciplining your child is out of line. Kids NEED structure and rules - they don't feel safe otherwise. My kids want routine and rules. Coddling them would accomplish nothing. Discipline with love and patience is the best way.<BR/><BR/>DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
