M, I may not be experienced with attachment issues or adopting older children, but I wanted to make sure you knew I have plenty of experience in being a good friend (which includes anything you need). Please don't hesitate to call me if you just want to vent and need someone to bounce it off of or scream at or whatever will help you get through this. I can't imagine how hard it is for those who are going through this and I am so glad you have those who have and are going through the same things. Please don't beat yourself up you are a great mother and these children are very blessed (as you are) to have a mom who really cares and wants them to flourish...and they will!!!
