Tired of all the emotions.
Tired of explaining myself.
Tired of no one LISTENING but rather hearing me.
Tired of the insensitivity by others.
Tired of the double standards I see.
Tired of being told who or what I HAVE to be in order to receive any respect at all.
Tired of all the assumptions.
Tired of blatant stupidity I see exhibited on a daily basis.
Tired of all things adoption related.
...and this is just the short list.........
For the last week I have been bombarded with adoption. It seemed to be everywhere I went. I watched 2 different tv shows on cable that had adoption themes in them. One was positive the other definitely not. Later that same night, I read a book to M and 3 pages into it, the adoption theme popped up, which of course, prompted questions for him. All of this just makes me want to pull my hair out.
I write when I feel compelled to write. I'm not one of those people who looks for things adoption related to blog about. I don't search the internet for things "adoption injustice" related. I don't care to as I feel that is a waste of time. There are plenty of other bloggers who seem to have those bases covered. For me however, it's like beating a dead horse. You simply can't force someone to read, let alone understand something they are not open to.
