Dear a,

You and your husband are special people

who are gifts from God. I don’t know how else to explain your deep love

and giving nature.

Thanks Mojo and yes, it is hard to let go when it's time.

Our little Amir who went with his grandmother was a little easier because she

is a wonderful lady and we don't have to worry about if he is safe or not. Our

Josh on the other hand that is 22 months old and we have had since he was seven

months might be given back to his dad in August. This man has 12 substantiated

abuse claims on his four older children, all of which were then adopted one at

a time. All of them were right around two years old when he lost it on them. He

has had two dirty drug tests just last month, Josh has no idea who he is and

because of the severe neglect in early infancy has bonding issues. Even though

child services knows that it would damage him to take him away from the only

family that he knows, their hands are tied by the fathers rights. We also have

a court date on baby Keyone and Freddie in June and they were supposed to be adopted

back in October but one delay after another and we now have had them nearly two

years. If one of these three kids leaves I will fall apart. I just don't know

how we could hand them over knowing that they would be in great danger. I just

would not have a reason to get out of bed each day if it weren't for my babies.

We aren't anything special at all, we just wanted to be someone's parents so

badly and this has worked out just great. Our oldest son is almost done with

his first year of high school and our oldest daughter is on student council and

band and has lots of friends. Both of these kids were listed

" unadoptable " and they are awesome kids.

I guess I am a. Thanks for pointing that out. This group is wonderful and I am so glad I joined! Have a great day! Carol

Well Carol, you already are making friends silly! Every time that we share

something with each other, things you probably would not tell the next

door neighbor, we are bonding and making memories. I have never been a big part

of the group but I still have people who I think of as friends.

Hi , I think it is so great the friendships you

have all

established with each other through this group! I hope in time I

might gain some close friendships here also. You have all been

really great and 's influence is obviously still going strong

here on this site. I feel like I know her even though she had

passed on before I joined the group. Thanks! Carol-
