Outbursts of Joy!

[Baphomette]

My friend is out of her coma and is moving and speaking. I'm beyond ecstatic.

And congratulations, aggroculture!

Just successfully got the funding for my first documentary film!

My train wreck of a sister, who lives in another state, had her kids taken away about 7 years ago. I found out two days ago, anonymously, that they were adopted into a nice family, and the oldest just started college! They appear happy, and healthy. They have braces, nice clothes, glasses - all the things that middle class kids are supposed to have. I will not contact them, or tell her, but I can't express how truly joyful this is. They would have had no life with my sister, and we were too far away to be involved or do anything about it. This is truly a wonderful wonderful thing.

I don't know, some day, they might want to know a bit about their bio family. You might be a good, safe connection. I'd put your name in at the adoption/social service agency as some one they should feel free to contact. Someday you might hear from them. My S.I.L and ex were both adopted and both thought about looking for their original families when they were in their late teens early twenties.
