Re: problems with relative adoptive kids

Have you had the kids evaluated for problems? Its the only thing that keeps me hanging in there some days..guess you could say the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. I have been told the girls will take all their anger out on me because I am the mother figure, and the girls are more than angry at their mom for all the past hurts and her giving them too us. So how do I cope in the meantime?
It would be great to have someone to talk to going through similar problems....you kerry...anyone?
