We are the TRUTH

I was so sad to hear about the child "returned" to Russia last week. I was also stunned. I can't imagine putting a child on a plane after promising to take care of him forever. I was also ANGRY. I was angry for this young boy and for all the children and parents who want them. I don't know the whole story but I can't even come up with one reason for treating a child this way. I can't come up with even one excuse that might make me understand. I've read reports that the "Mother" (and I use that term just for explanation for she is no Mother) says that Russia lied to her. Are you kidding? Did she do one second of research? Did she know the risks? Did she expect perfect? Newsflash lady...there are no perfect kids--not in Russia, not here, not any where!

Parenting is hard work. It is the hardest, best job I have ever had. Nothing compares to it, but it's HARD.

So my truth.. My kids are awesome! They are smart, funny, cute, happy, sensitive, clever, athletic, beautiful, spiritual, deep, good, complicated, stubborn, wonderful, talented, healthy, cheerful, strong, ambitious, loving, warm, caring, brave, bright, courageous, delightful, crazy, fabulous, friendly, generous, gentle, jolly, kind, wise, ...okay I'll stop now, you get the point.

Is our family perfect--of course not! We have our flaws and problems and personalities, but that's what makes it interesting and I wouldn't have it any other way. Our family is perfect for us and that makes me happy. My two Russian beauties make me happy.
