Nobody seemed suicidal or ready to give up due to not having a spouse to help...hehe. My hat goes off to this special group of people who opeend their hearts to difficult children
A few adopted kids from India who turned out to have rather severe medical problems, yet they were coping and doing so well.
I guess I have to cook a Crow Pie and have it for dinner (grin).
I have a new sense of renewed support for single parents. After all, what the kids need most is love and dedication

Just felt a need to right my wrong (this all happened last night). I actually didnt' realize it, but I had gone to a group of ONLY single adoptive parents. I was the only one who was married. So keep up the good work!!!!
Ok, off the soap box!
