We are in a book club for adoptive parents and this is one section of the book. It is right on!! So thankful for the friends who've stuck close, even though they don't always "get it!" For a time we kept to ourselves, and even now sometime we find ourselves going there, but the isolation was almost our undoing.
If you are in this, or a similar situation, you have to reach out! Surround yourself with support....it is not easy, but it is vital.
