I can only imagine how painful it must be. I had never thought about how difficult it must be to permit yourself to feel the anger and loss. But humans need to grieve their losses, and the loss of your hope to parent a specific child is a huge loss.<br /><br />(here from creme)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747382929049494704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365326280215821855.post-71964721310500390992011-01-31T16:35:24.334-05:002011-01-31T16:35:24.334-05:00Found this post at Creme de la Creme.

In practice that can be hard, I suppose. <br /><br />I'm sorry for your loss. <br /><br />(Arrived here from the Crème de la Crème list.)Lut C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03893061829410958985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365326280215821855.post-5314084113404119502011-01-02T14:32:33.495-05:002011-01-02T14:32:33.495-05:00Here from the Creme...

And experiencing a tremendously long wait to adopt (China - over 4.5 years now) has its own pain that is different, but also not understood.
