Thumbs up Special needs older child adoption

I had to reply to Barki and Cleopatrick! We have had our nine year old for almost 3 months. He has moderate disabilities and was in several pre-adopt homes that did not work out. I am getting so sick of the 'saint' comments too! I did this because I wanted to... and my DH and teens wanted to also. We are struggling and certainly don't feel like saints most of the time. We wanted another kid in the family!

When things are going rough, you want to hear that it will work out in time, not that you are nuts to be doing this! It is quite a learning experience, for sure.
