Just know that love for her will win out, and all this confusion will be left in the murky past of memories not remembered.MysticBlueRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11755993046101816666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843700476644280636.post-66266425166064300162008-07-02T05:32:00.000-07:002008-07-02T05:32:00.000-07:00I personally haven't met a mom yet who hasn't had ...I personally haven't met a mom yet who hasn't had one of those days with any of their kids. :) And in the end, this blog is yours and Amanda's to share, no need to apologize for anything you put it in.

I know ...I think it's great that you are so honest. I know that some go over thinking about roses and as Charlotte said they forget the thorns.<BR/><BR/>Any time you add to your family, in anyway it's got lots of thorns. Whether it's a newborn, 10 month old, 6 yr old or even older.<BR/><BR/>When you take a person (especially a child of any age) and add them it's hard. You smell funny (no offense) talk funny, eat funny things and want them to do it to. We wont even talk about taking a bath, I mean really have you lost your mind!<BR/><BR/>I can't begin to imagine the changes little Amanda has gone through yet she is a trooper and keeps on going. You are giving her the wonderful example to just keep going. No matter what's thrown at you, you just keep on loving her and keep on going. <BR/><BR/>As time goes on those thorns wont be as sharp and wont hurt quite so bad and eventually you say what thorns? <BR/><BR/>Hang in there it's gonna get better :)<BR/>Amy from RRAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10822055842774694422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843700476644280636.post-14160303610339131672008-07-01T22:11:00.000-07:002008-07-01T22:11:00.000-07:00Kris,It is wonderful to see the honesty !

I think you are handling everything brilliantly, and so is Amanda. I can't wait for you to get home. It will be so much easier for both of you when you are with your family. I'm praying for sun and a big apetite.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234405670230407984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843700476644280636.post-21883298068393274722008-07-01T15:56:00.000-07:002008-07-01T15:56:00.000-07:00Kris, I totally agree with everything you just sa...Kris, <BR/> I totally agree with everything you just said. I think you and Amanda are doing amazing. I have never adopted so i cant not speak of that . But I do have 4 children. I think there is a point where every mother wants to pull her hair out and wonder how we will make it through the day. Then the next day is wonderful. Kids will be kids that is all there is to it.You are a wonderful mother, friend and all around person. I am honored to say I know you much less be your friend. <BR/>counting down the days with you.<BR/>carol ncarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698353323921683289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843700476644280636.post-83358894936714383682008-07-01T14:47:00.000-07:002008-07-01T14:47:00.000-07:00Kris, I think you are doing wonderful with all you...Kris, <BR/>I think you are doing wonderful with all you are going through.<BR/>I do not think anyone in their right mind could think that an adoption whether on native or foreign soil would be easy.<BR/>You are an inspiration to so many and you impress me everyday.<BR/><BR/>Please take care and try to have some fun exploring who Amanda is and Estonia has to offer.GoldenAngelsWorkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170330335953656756noreply@blogger.com
