ADOPTION IS BLIND

 

ADOPTION IS BLIND 


A WOMAN was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way.. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes. 


Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind. The man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight. 


He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, 'Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?' The blind lady replied, 'No thanks, but maybe  Buddy   would like to stretch his legs.'


Picture this:


All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!


True story... Have a great day and remember...  

THINGS AREN'T ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR.  


A day without laughter is a day wasted!


Wasted like opening up to the wrong person. The wrong people.


For some adoptees, as they are working through the impact of their adoption, they will be making massive realizations, connections about memories, emotions and patterns in their adoption experience. Things about their interpersonal relationships and things about how they view their life.


Often, adoptees want to share this new insight, emotional experience and language with others. Sadly, however, not everyone can hear this. So adoptees have to find safe people to listen to them as they evolve in their adoption story. That may not be your family or some of your friends; it requires us to seek people who can bear the emotional content of the adoption journey. Many times it is another adoptee.
