I can’t see the top photo – only the girl in the sailor dress.
It’s working for me.
Is anyone else having a problem seeing them?
Anyone?
Bueller?
Bueller….?
Bueller….?
….zzzzzz…..zzzzzz……zzzzz
What the… ?
I only see one picture, yeah the little girl in the sailor dress. Would make a perfect addition to a poem I wrote once.
Well shit then, just forget it.
I don’t know WTF to do.
I’m kind of hopeless with computers.
Okay, I’ve got a cunning plan…..
Well that didn’t work.
I’ll think of something else, for now just ignore the post.
Not dorky girl, beautiful precious girl.
You’re a sweetie, kim.
I just wish i could get the other picture to work, it’s one of my first Mom.
I’m still working on it.
Aw! Some dork (not).
REALLY REALLY sweet.
AAWWWWWWWW. What a great smile! Just want to give her a hug.
Very sweet. I think it’s an absolutely lovely picture. You have great features, by the way! 🙂
Hope you can get the picture of your mom to come up – I would love to see her.
Andrea….you were a very sweet, looking girl. I would never have given you away!!!!
Addie, that must be you, it looks exactly like you only younger.
The you that I imagine.
LeRoy,
My names Addie, it’s short for Addalaide Patricia Lynn Battenberg St. Thomas Von Housen.
Just for the record, we don’t give our children away because they aren’t beautiful…….
In fact, we don’t give them away. It’s very complicated and painful and multi layered.
It’s the reason we get together and blog about it because away from here people just don’t get it….
Addie…thanks for straightening me out about your name. I confused your name with another person – Ani. You have a very long name. I can see why you just go by Addie.
And Kim, I understand what you are saying yet legally (and what society would say) is a child whose parents voluntarily terminated his/her parental rights gave that child up for adoption. No question there may have been other forces at work pressuring her/him to do it and I think these blogs are a great way to express the loss felt and to advocate reform and the reasons for it.
And what I meant by my comment was I don’t know how any parent could relinquish their rights to Addie after they saw her. It was meant to be complimentary not to indicate that just mere appearance would be reason to keep/relinquish a child.
I love your pic. The sailor suit may be dorky but you’re wearing it with much panache. I like it alot actually.
I know what you meant by your comment Leroy.
