I know that I would have a very difficult time supporting reunification. I know my children and I know that one of them would have a difficult time seeing other children come and go. Does that mean I'm selfish and unable to place a child's needs above my own? I don't think so. We all have our own gifts. I have severely emotionally disturbed children. Not everyone could parent them. I've been told by others that there is no way they could do it. That doesn't mean that others are heartless. It means that we all excel in different ways. I thank God that that is the case because the world needs us all.
