I will continue to study success stories and learn how those successes were made. I will continue to help drowning families learn to swim. I will continue to love my children and any more that come with all the passion I have.

I am glad you plan to continue teaching us all! We are waiting for our family to grow very soon and I know I will be on the lookout for your wisdom!
I so understand your frustration. One of the aparents of our dear sweet fchildren was convinced that he knew exactly how to handle every problem the kids came with. (Toys, gifts, new clothes and rarely if ever saying no to their every whim) He figured that the NEW family should come with ALL NEW things and that they should never look back. There would be enough time when they got settled into their new home to start setting boundaries. The report I got back yesterday that most everything was going well except they were shocked that one of the children were showing defiant behaviors....hmmmm. Ya think the fparent may have known a little something?
Just be assured that there are some of us out here that are trying to make sure our pride is swallowed and that we can admit we don't know all the answers. We are willing to try something unusual to deal with our children who came to us due to unusual circumstances.
Glad to have this forum,
