Honestly, I am inspired by my youngest and all those like her. She was adopted multiple times and passed around from house to house before she ended up as my kid. Yet she still always thought the best about everyone. She always chose to believe that everyone was good and nobody lied. No matter how much hurt was thrown her way, she would always stand up for those who hurt her. Always gave everyone the benefit of the doubt.
To see all the pain that an adoptee goes through and know how much it destroyed her self esteem and self love. Yet she continued despite all the pain. She struggled, but kept getting up again.
I tried so hard to shield her from additional pain, but she pushed herself into more opportunities to be hurt. She wants to better herself. She wants to try everything. She will take that chance of success.
In my mind, she will always be a precocious little girl that dreamed of being center stage despite all the setbacks.
I hope she is able to find what she is looking for. She deserves it for always choosing love and hope, even when the world tries to take it all from her.
