Have you done any reading on how to deal with losing an adoptive child? If not, I know of some articles I can post for you.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811548306583601019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134242791095743131.post-67585561614286393562008-02-13T23:23:00.000-06:002008-02-13T23:23:00.000-06:00The sad heart looks good with that nice frame arou...The sad heart looks good with that nice frame around it.

Unfortunately, my nine years of being the only mom he's ever known came to an end when, two-and-a-half years ago, social services removed him from our home due to behaviors that were endangering our younger boys (as well as ourselves). I admire you for your perseverance and strength. I have struggled with a lot of guilt over how my stepson's life is turning out (he's 17 now and is in regular contact with his birth mother, who, when he was 3, basically abandoned him and "quit" being his mom . . . long story short: she is the primary cause for his disorder, but no one else seems to realize this!!!). Well, before I get off on a tangent, I'd better end. I'm looking forward to visiting often. I wish I would have had a resource like you when my son was living with us. It would have made life a lot easier to bear at times.Kimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475879852203788006noreply@blogger.com
