I am starting this blog so that the teenagers I adopt will be able to read about how I found them...and how...they found me.
I've always been a big fan of the program Wednesday's Child on Channel four and hosted by the wonderful Janice Huff. I'd been watching it for years my heart reaching out but the personal environment I created for myself was self-destructive. I had been rejected by my biological family who exerted abuse upon me from a very early age. They were a family who wanted me dead, so that I'd be silenced. I was thrown out into the world believing that abuse was a normal way of life. It took me many years to spiral out of the pre- imposed psychological pain. I could not have been a parent and was not blessed with my own children and I thank God for the wisdom in that decision. About three years ago I experienced a miracle. God found me and I have been a devout and practicing Christian ever since. I started a blog called How God Found Me which unveils this wonderful journey.
It's taken me and my husband Peter quite a few years to enjoy stability and love in our home to even understand what that was.
One day I visited to the Wednesdays' Child website. I was taken aback to find children of all ages. I was especially drawn to the adult children who were just at the age I was when I was thrown out into the world. I looked at some pictures. There was David, Dell, and Tim, and. I read their comments and I wept. They put into words what I had always been feeling. That need for a family, the idea that I too have a right to experience love and support and the hope that it's never too late.
Then it struck me these were the kids that I could have had at the age of 22 or 23. They could be the kids that I could have given up for adoption. I could find them again...a circle complete.
I signed up and waited for the adoption packets that were sent BAM.. and then I waited. I waited for about a week and wrote a letter to each of the children on how I was feeling about them. (Those letters shall remain private).
