This here is my third piece on adoption which is two more than in intially planned (here are one and two). To be honest, the first piece turned out totally different from what I expected. Instead of it closing the door and being the first and last chapter on my story about adoption, I came to find out that this book has subsequent chapters which I feel inclined to bring to your local pc monitor or smartphone.
While my blog isn’t viewed by millions (hey it takes time) I’ve been very happy with the responses I’ve received both on and offline. During this process, I’m learning more about myself, like the fact being adopted has affected me in so many different ways, and its a part my life every single day, and will continue to do so, with no end in sight. I once had an English Professor who told me every story has a reoccuring theme, or themes whether or not it’s easily identified, even authors have themes that show up from one book or story to another even if they don’t acknowledge it. The past, connections, and adoption are my themes, whether it be reflecting or trying to truly trying to understand it’s affect. I’m also realizing that as I write, instead of less there’s more questions that may not really need answers, but just need to be ask out loud. So with that said I’ll keep this post short and leave you with a few words of my own.
I look down the road and see it litered,
Littered with obstacles which I must face, and over come.
Unlike before where I charged ahead looking down
or back while moving forward,
Refusing to look to where I was going,
I now look at the road before me as
challenges that I must faced.
I also realize by looking to far ahead you lose sight of what lies right before you.
As far as where I go with my next piece, I’m not sure, what I do know is that, I’m going to enjoy the road ahead of me that I’m traveling. If you’d like me to take a detour leave me questions and your thoughts, if I don’t answer them right away its because they may become subject matter for future post!

Very interesting point made by your English professor. Shows that English literature really can help people make sense of their lives. I now wonder about the recurring themes of my own life. Keep on writing.
Yeah though I disagreed with my professor on my other thoughts and ideas found that to be very true. It’s made me look over some of my older writings with different insight!
