There are so many people who don't understand what it means to parent another's child. The comments that I receive run from, "you're such a saint" to "you're so crazy." I personally hate these types of comments. Most days I feel that I fall short of one of the above descriptors and fully live up to the other.

Those of us in the know that reality is somewhere in the middle. It takes a special person to mother someone else's child, but it also takes a bit of the crazies too. Moms in general are talented and deserve their special day, but there is something extra special in my opinion, about an adoptive mom.
