Hey all. I am Jenni – the writer and adoptee here. And it has been a minute…. or two… it’s been a lot of minutes. Life got busy and I haven’t kept up on this…
Note that all things written are based off of my own personal experience.
View PostFeeling like someone’s greatest mistake & someone’s greatest blessing is partly what has always made Mothers Day heavy for myself. To feel that burden, that pressure & that separation all together is a heavy load.
View Post, I had a plethora of these big and small unknown expectations that had built up within me over the years. But let’s be honest how could I not have them within a closed adoption? I spent 26 years imagining what life could look like if I was reunited. That’s a lot of years of what if’s. The problem was… trying to let go of expectations. Have you tried it? Man, it is super hard!
View PostCurrently doing our best to navigate all that comes with reuniting. It’s a whole new way of life which is great but like adoption in general – doesn’t come without it’s challenges too. BUT I’m much more than just an adoptee & too often over the years I’ve failed to recognize the importance of that.
