Adoption is…
A process of changing one’s identity
Trauma
Overcome it. I will.
But it’s real
So real that sometimes we can’t see it
But I see it now
Dragging myself from the fog
Painful
Necessary
Cleansing
Dare I say… beautiful
Adoption is pain
Adoption is change
Grateful for the people it brought in to my life
Grateful for the perspective it brings
I will speak my tale
Speak it true
All of it
The good
The ugly
It’s time for honesty
Not least of all to me.
