Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 ok, so I do apologize to anyone if my statement about adoption has upset them. Here is a website discussing some of the particular problems or hurdles that parents may have to overcome. Again, I would like to reitterate that not everyone has these issues as is stated here, but it is something that is real. These children need all the love and support they can get but without being logical and knowing the hardship that faces us through this process can give us a sense of misbalance. Post partum depression is very real and it's ugly and it's not nice to talk about but it's there. Just as autism is there, just as everytime my son has a meltdown he's not misbehaving its there. Anyhow, here's just a few of the websites I was given by my psychologist. http://www.adopting.org/adoptions/the-inner-world-of-the-adopted-child-|-christopher-alexander-phd.html There are many websites out there with conflicting views, but we all know who we are so we know what each one of us can handle. I just don't think I could handle another special needs child. Does this make me bad? No, I'm just honest. Man it's hard for me to handle the fact that my son will always live with me. But I do. Our world is not a pretty site, so unless something pertains to me I don't deal with it bc I don't have the energy to help everyone. I help who I can and if I accidently hurt someone along the way I regret it but I do learn from my mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
