Post of the Week: “It’s National Adoption Week: Be kind to yourselves!”

postoftheweek_newThe Post of the Week for National Adoption Week comes from Jemma of Two Mums. Two Kids?, who reminds us of a very important part of the adoption process.

She writes:

The adoption approval process makes you look at yourself in a way nothing else really does. . . . So be kind to yourselves. Celebrate your strengths. Remember that sometimes it’s OK to be “good enough” that it’s OK to show your children that being a human is alright! You don’t need to be a calm, jolly machine all the time to be successful, and to be a parent.

Good advice for us all. Go read the rest — and if you haven’t read her post from last year to her to-be-adopted daughter, go read that, too.
