We got this attitude initally by all the sets of grandparents. You would have though DH and I were next in line to be Sainted by the Pope once we "saved" Ty...cause if we hadn't taken him, he would have been left on a street corner to pan handle for his room and board or something. I quietly told them Ty was a blessing to us, as much as we were a blessing to him. He saved DH and I as much as we could ever have saved him. I told them to make no mistake, we wrestled Ty from the grips of 1,000's of other families that would have taken him home in a heart beat. We never heard it again from our families. We get a lot of "bless your hearts" from strangers though...not specifically for "saving Ty" though so we take the blessings. Can't ever have to many of those.
