They just get it

I had the most wonderful experience yesterday. I met up with two wonderful women from prep group, for the first time after those four days we spent in a room together a few months ago.

I've been feeling up and down and all over the place these days, the assessment sessions are going well and are therapeutic, but they are exhausting and dig up all sorts of feelings.

Then yesterday, we finally got together for dinner. It was almost like magic! Having someone who just gets it, whom you don't have to educate or explain things to, was such a relief. We all talked and talked for hours, we stayed way later than any of us expected to and we could have continued, had it not been a weeknight.

We've made plans to meet up again, to hopefully have play-dates in the future, to reach out to each other when we need each other.

My heart is so full today! It was incredibly soothing to be listened to and feel understood, as well as listen to their thoughts and understand. I believe humans are meant to feel like they are part of something, and I do after yesterday - I really, really do. They calmed my fears and I hope I helped them calm theirs. They were excited with me and I with them. It was a beautiful experience.

I hope we continue to meet up and be there for each other.

Happy World Adoption Day!
