At that time, news stories were only just beginning to appear in more prominent publications about adoption. (I write about these articles in a later post.) <br /><br />I believe its highly unlikely my daughter saw or heard anything about these abductions. If you read subsequent posts, it became increasingly apparent (and was confirmed by a counselor we saw) that my daughter was struggling with a genuine internal dissonance. She was proud she was from China and believed her birth parents loved her deeply. She was struggling to resolve -- and fighting with all her heart -- the conclusion that her birth parents could have abandoned or relinquished her. The only other possible conclusion (which frightened and worried her) was that I must have taken her -- against their will. If you read subsequent posts from March and April 2008 you will see how she struggled and how we finally got to the heart of the matter... a painful but important process that allowed her finally to grieve.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.<br />LisaLisa @ Pack of Threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092950371012127975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030999379275940934.post-73197072522927051402009-10-21T18:33:27.576-07:002009-10-21T18:33:27.576-07:00"Sometimes I wonder if you stole me from my b..."Sometimes I wonder if you stole me from my birth parents..."<br /><br />Does your daughter watch the news about stories of abandoned children in China?<br /><br />Or overhear rumours about these trafficking rings?<br /><br />On the offchance that I never find my way back to your blog (it's kinda buried on the AP blogrolls I usually go to)...<br /><br />My e-mail is little.wing04@hotmail.comMei-Linghttp://exiledsister.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030999379275940934.post-25554438774937622692009-04-27T22:50:00.000-07:002009-04-27T22:50:00.000-07:00Lori,

The more people write back to me and share a bit of themselves, their journey, the more I realize we're all part of a much larger tribe -- that of adoptive parents. And what a truly remarkable tribe that is!Lisa @ Pack of Threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092950371012127975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030999379275940934.post-8867796612424339622009-04-27T10:58:00.000-07:002009-04-27T10:58:00.000-07:00I take heed ...thank you for this.
