Myself As I woke up in the morning All I saw of myself was nothing. I looked in the mirror And I realized that I was ugly. The face in the mirror was not myself. I was fat, short and ugly.

Adopted children face anguish as birth parents... →
This cracks me up because I’m a cynical beastie, but hello, if you haven’t made your kids’ first family part of their lives in conversations and run through what-ifs and whys, then you’re living in a bubble. Open adoption - harder, tougher but practical.
