Hurts of Adoption

Very interesting, balanced view of adoption: http://www.naturalchild.org/guest/marcy_axness.html

It is hard to communicate both the joys and pain of adoption. How something so wonderful (parenting, family) can come from often sad situations (removal of a parent even by choice). I like this articles approach of acknowledging reality and embracing the joy moving forward.

Sadest Lyrics Ever ...

I just heard "Have you Seen my Love" by the Bare Naked Ladies. What I heard of the lyrics were so sad, I had to look them up. Here is a version I found

"Have You Seen My Love?"

Have you seen my love?Have you seen my love?Have you seen my little girl?Oh, have you seen my love?All that I want is to be your friend,Cause you're the only friend I've ever knownAll I need is our love, we agreedThat the two of us wouldn't be aloneIn these faded old photographs, you can see how we smiled I became a man in your arms, now I'm helpless as a child[CHORUS]There is a dream that we both used to share And we swore we would never wakeNow the dream's a nightmare, and the truth to be fairIs that dreaming was the first mistake Though we share the same memories, and I swear that's her faceDid you bury the woman I love, and fall asleep in her space?
