It's good for me to read it. It's easy as an AP to want to only see the good side of adoption. But there is a lot of stuff that isn't good about adoption. And we as APs need to remember that - for our children and out of respect for our childrens' first parents.a Tonggu Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365812914466181060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685337508262430251.post-69970139645036308672008-10-02T08:44:00.000-06:002008-10-02T08:44:00.000-06:00Lillie - Thank so much.

I have to admit that it IS really hard... but that doesn't mean that you don't have something important to say! I read lots of different blogs, then try to sift through everything so that I can share stuff that isn't so raw it scares APs away. I appreciate your willingness to let me do that!a Tonggu Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365812914466181060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685337508262430251.post-11886646503484751012008-10-01T11:16:00.000-06:002008-10-01T11:16:00.000-06:00Hey that's oka tonggu momma, I don't mind at all! ...Hey that's oka tonggu momma, I don't mind at all! ;) <BR/><BR/>To be honest I was kind of surprised, I didn't think many AP's would read my blog, as much swearing and bitching and complaining as I do, lol. I'm sure I don't come across as the most pleasant of individuals.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad if I can help, that's why I do this.

I don't typically comment here because I realize I'm not the target audience, but I do gain so much from reading y'alls posts. <BR/><BR/>My blog is mostly your typical AP blog - filled with with fluff and nonsense - but I do try to help spread at least a little adoption education through my Sunday Links and the occasional thoughtful post.<BR/><BR/>As an AP, I still have a long way to go, which is one of the reasons I lurk at so many blogs. If you'd rather I not link to any of your future posts - or if anyone else reading your comments would rather I didn't - then please e-mail me at tonggumomma(at)gmail(dot)com. <BR/><BR/>And if anyone travels from my blog to yours and makes an inappropriate comment, please let me know. I'll have to stop my Sunday Links if that ever happens. I've always felt strongly that your spaces are not for APs to do anything but listen and try to absorb. And I never link to something that I don't find very important - On rare occasions I may be struggling to understand it, but even then, if I link to it, I feel it's significant.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your patience with me.a Tonggu Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365812914466181060noreply@blogger.com
