“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.”
“A note for the next person. This time last year I was exactly where you are. For me it was the adoption panel. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.”
“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.”
“Para quien empieza como familia de acogida: no te voy a mentir, hay días que parece que no das una. El trabajo de historia de vida es duro, el panel te pone nervioso y los adolescentes mienten y vapean. Pero también hay momentos buenos. Busca a alguien con quien hablar, como yo con Kerry. Y ten paciencia contigo misma.”
