From people who came through it
“Reading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was a few years back. Back then it was the adoption panel. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. Keep going, even slowly.”
trisha.garden · been through adoption and foster care“I'm not going to tell you eveything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. I made a shared calendar for the family so I'm not the only one remembering.”
Marta Yt · been through adoption and foster care“I think I was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I stopped trying to be the perfect parent. Good enough is enough. Keep going, even slowly.”
Rami from Tangier · been through adoption and foster care“To whoever needs this: Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was foster caring for 8 years. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces.”
