I am an AP - and my daughter is so little yet, but I am already tired of hearing people say that she will 'forget' everything that came before she and I were together. It makes me hurt to think of her fairly staggering loss being dismissed so easily simply because she was young when it happened.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520732188556602414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068702647356713810.post-89626484267287394422010-04-22T18:28:33.554-07:002010-04-22T18:28:33.554-07:00Thank you so much, Melissa.

And Mia, I'd love to try and tackle your questions from my perspective, but I don't have your email or a link. I started to write a follow-up comment, but it got really, really long and I gave up.

For those of you who don't know (but care), yes, I'm an atheist, but I often find myself agreeing with hard-core believers. How can that be? <br />Well, to me Christian points of view like the ones in TM's post aren't Christian. They're kind-hearted, caring and compassioned ways to view the world and the people in it.<br /><br />I hope no one takes offense to me asking this, but with my limited knowledge and understanding of a Christian mind, I don't understand why this is such a sore topic?<br />Are certain views or ways of looking on adoption not very "Christian"?<br />Like I said, I mean no offense, I'm only trying to learn.<br /><br />And Melissa, I know you know me well enough to know that I'm not trying to be insensitive with my questions.<br />And even though I've found your links really useful, I'd love to read you own blog take on this matter.Mia_h_nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068702647356713810.post-55024653393116310422010-04-21T03:48:51.349-07:002010-04-21T03:48:51.349-07:00Thanks for stopping by on my blog!
