You did the right thing, Meghan. Evan has to come first. We're in the process of adopting another child - perhaps a young toddler, and with the prospect of that, I have to consider how another child might affect my 4-year-old. While we were open to much before we brought Clay home, we can no longer be that open out of consideration for what is best for him. When you have a giving and loving heart, it's difficult to say no to anyone, especially an 11-year-old in need of love, support, comfort, security and understanding. How do you turn a child away who is so in need? You do it knowing the right situation for him is with another family, one who does not have the possible obstacles to his development a younger child in the home might present. So it's not JUST about what's right for Evan, but for the other boy as well. God bless.
