He finally realized that we couldn't change the facts and he convinced the rest of us to just accept you. It was quite an adjustment, but we all came around to it eventually. It might have had something to do with the fact that we were all approaching moving out of the house. :-D<br /><br />BTW, nice post. That is a great way to have Madeline aware of her adoption while at the same time sharing something special with Papa.Marysianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7075453294487479899.post-82709042714658342002009-08-27T08:22:38.934-04:002009-08-27T08:22:38.934-04:00You'll have to ask Paul his specific memories ...You'll have to ask Paul his specific memories of *my* Gotcha Day.....hahahaha, too funny! <br /><br />So I was TEN before you agreed to have me as your sister?!?!?!

It will be a "forever" memory that will provoke questions as she gets older. Years from now it will be all part of the Griggs tradition and she will feel like she always knew she was adopted.<br /><br />BTW, just in case you forgot, your Gotcha Day was September 24, 1980. That's when we finally relented and agreed to have you as our sister. :) :) :)Paulnoreply@blogger.com
