Judge not......


The following quote from Joyce Maynard, an adoptive mom who had to struggle through an adoption- disruption, hit me deeply:


"I believe it is possible to heal deep, deep wounds. But the people who are equipped to do it had better have deep, deep reserves themselves to struggle through some hard times. And I've struggled through a lot of them. But I wasn't, finally, the person who was going to be able to bring them through. And I see my role as the person who got them to the people who can."
