I agree - I can't change what happened to him, but I can give him an opportunity to be a kid. I feel keenly that traumatized kids often lose out on the chance to be young.Lulu McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002084871872201948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595859314129335086.post-62136490394228487362010-03-21T14:49:07.686-07:002010-03-21T14:49:07.686-07:00I haven't read your blog long and don't kn...I haven't read your blog long and don't know all of T's issues. But what makes my heart happy about this situation is that despite whatever circumstances that led T into foster care and then adoption, this experience he is having is a typical kid thing.

And that is pretty awesome.Jachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00154985933123620272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1595859314129335086.post-10787087498412844282010-03-21T07:40:23.586-07:002010-03-21T07:40:23.586-07:00I too am still struggling with that "I'm ...I too am still struggling with that "I'm someone's parent thing". And I don't do waiting up thing well, I am always go to the worst case scenario. Oh and may I suggest stocking up on kool aid?
