The Power of Yes?

The Power of Yes?

by Eva

They said,

Yes, we need you...

Yes, we like you...

Yes, tell us all about yourselves...

Yes, we will train you...

Yes, we are happy to assess you...

Yes, we approved you...

Yes, you have a lot to offer...

Yes, you will be great adoptive parents...

Yes, that's a good book to read...

Yes, now we wait...

Yes, we know it's hard to wait...

Yes, we understand...

Yes, it's the climate...

Yes, we found a child...

Yes, you would be a good match...

Yes, you understand the needs of the child...

Yes, you are not the only family they look at...

Yes, we might know more in a month...

Yes, we know it's disappointing...

Yes, we are back to the drawing board...

Yes, we can continue looking again when you are ready...

Yes, you think you are ready...

Yes, we found a new child...

Yes, he looks just like you...

Yes, it's very promising...

Yes, they come to do a home visit...

Yes, there is another child who needs you...

Yes, they really want you...

Yes, it is hard to choose which child to pursue...

Yes, you need to decide now...

Yes, you are playing God...

No, you don't get to do that without consequences!
