We Wanted You by Liz Rosenberg is a story told by a mom and dad telling their child about the adoption process and how much they wanted their baby, and how much they still do. Though I have never experienced the adoption process, this book reminds me that it is so important for parents to remind their children how much they love them. And they also need to show they love them. Just because a child was not adopted, does not mean that they will automatically feel loved. As a child and till this day, my parents have done a great job of displaying love for me. They make me feel that their love is unconditional. They want me to set high goals and succeed in everything I do; however, they do not put pressure on me when I make mistakes. They set limits and rules for me to show that they care about my safety and my life in general. They are involved in my life in every way they can. When I was younger my mom was a room parent in elementary school, my parents have been to every cheerleading, gymnastics, or dance competition I have ever been in, and they now come to visit me at college as often as possible. They show their love by being invested in my life. I know I would not have developed into such a confident, determined, loving person if they have no shown love to me.
