Building Families Through The Miracle Of Adoption

Jul 31, 2008

Featherless Hens, I love you all!

My adoption "support group" is the HOT HENS! We are a group of women who's babies are in the TQ orphanage. We have become incredibly close over the last few months and we email/talk on a daily basis. We have been one another's sounding board, venting buddies, we pull strategy together and we REALLY KNOW how the other is feeling! I felt SO alone until I met my HENS! We will be friends for LIFE as we have endured this pain and it is NOT over yet! I have to believe we will see our babies soon and that will be a HUGE celebration! So why HENS? If you stick your head in a hen coup and mess with her chick, she will peck you! HOT HENS is quite appropriate! We must find something to keep us laughing while we continue to beat our heads against the way day after day as we fight (it feels that way for sure). I am a FEATHERLESS hen for sure! NOTE: Stress makes your hair/feathers fall out!

I know those of you who log on are wanting updates on Halle-Grace. PLEASE remember ALL of the children in TQ! Today, another HEN received a photo of her precious little one... another IV!! Ripped my heart out...cried til I had the "snubs" or whatever that horrible and embarrassing thing is (where you can't breathe"). Many of the babies have been sick. Our agency said when one gets sick, they all get sick (makes sense, they sleep together, eat together) but it still is hard to see them when we can't be there and hold them through a needle stick and IV fluids! That is what mommys do! My mom did it for me and I want to do the same for Halle-Grace! Bless their little hearts! These babies need their mommys! WE need them!

God Bless our children!
