Re: High Expectations?
Hello,
Just a note to validate you...it is so important to trust your heart...one of our adoptions was a baby who appeared fine, as well, but came from a family with lots of drug abuse, etc and we just figured we could make everything OK with love. It has been a long journey with this child, in spite of having open relationships with her family...don't get me wrong, we love her very much but it has been a very difficult time getting our child the help she needs.
After that adoption we had an opportunity to adopt a baby who would have been a cousin to one of our other children. We decided not to do so since we had our hands full at that time and found another family to adopt her, but I have to say it was one of the hardest things we ever did!! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!! Sandy
