The truth

Not the whole truth, but the truth nonetheless.  You might have noticed that for almost three weeks I haven’t really written about my current adoption.  I’ve thought long and hard about how much I would/could tell you about what’s been going on these past few weeks.  Ultimately, I’ve come to the conclusion that all I really have the right to tell you is that I am not going to be adopting the little girl I mentioned a few weeks ago.  The reasons for this are extremely complicated and there are, of course, confidentiality obligations that I will not breach.  I just thought it was appropriate for me to mention that I will not be returning to Asia for child #2, but that I will be following through with my original plans to adopt a child from Ethiopia.  As you might imagine, I am deeply conflicted about this, but I am confident that this decision is for the best in most respects.
