Thank you so much. I don't know if I will be able to kkep in touch with her. I'd like to. She has never kept in touch with the other families. I've often asked her if she wanted to write to any of them and she said she doesn't. I'm feeling sad because when she came here she brought boxes of photos of the previous families and told me about all of them. At that time I felt relieved that she would be here permanantly and not have to move again. Now I'm sure she will be taking photos of my family with her to the next placement or group home. I have a horse that she really loves and two dogs that she is always taking care of. I didn't want it to end this way. Today she spoke of her father who is in prison. She says she misses him. I told her that in two years she would be 18 and can visit him. I know she felt better about that. I dont think that there will ever be a family that she would really think of as her own and where she feels that she belongs. She is a lost child and alone out there. What a way to live. She has had the same caseworker for the four years that she has been in the system and that helps I'm sure. Her caseworker told me how she will probably react to the decision and that will be going into a depression. I still don't believe I know the real person that she is. I don't believe she does either. She just goes from place to place and tries to belong somewhere and every family sends her back. nrj
