Holt Camp 2011

It's taken a good three weeks for me to truly reflect on what has happened to me this summer. I can't even begin to tell my close friends how much this camp experience has changed my life. It was the first time I've been around other adoptees, and it was overwhelming for me at first. I was surrounded by people that could finally relate to what I had been going through my entire life. Imagine that, all these years, alone, feeling slightly crazy for having suppressed all of those feelings and now I had 20 other people that could validate my experiences and feelings...I have finally found a community that I belong to. Where I can be myself and not be judged or made fun of. Its an amazing feeling to finally have found a place where I belong, feel safe and have others that can relate, who truly get it......

    Trac, I almost teared up reading this... knowing what you have done for my organization and how many teens will always remember your stories.. and now you get to shed more light on your 'beautiful struggle.' I feel honored to be in your circle and read about this experience. I wish I could snap my fingers and have you in my living room telling me every detail. Sendin you constant love and appreciation for that sense of "give back" that our amazing Dad's have instilled in us. xoxoxo
