    I was adopted at 3 years old. I'm 50 now, and my mom passed away in 2000. I always tell people that she saved my life, and she would tell people that I saved hers.
    Miss you mom.

      I'm going through that now. I lost her last month and we always use to say that she was put here for me and I was put here for her. The pain is indescribable when you lose that one person who will love you like no one else.

My husband and I have a 4 year old son and we’re talking about adopting an older boy or girl now. I’m so happy for Alex. I hope he is building his trust back up ❤️❤️❤️

      There is a lot of research about birth order dynamics when adopting. Much older might be ok otherwise younger than your child is better. Obviously don’t take my word for it but know that it’s a a thing to consider.

    I'm so happy for you Alex! I was almost adopted by a wonderful woman, but for reasons I didn't understand, it never happened. I was in 12 foster homes, and 2 group homes before I started running away at 13 years old. I was blessed to have found my biological mother and family, but I know how you felt Alex. It did seem like every home was just temporary and you know it. You always knew to expect that after about 6 months to a year, you will be moved to more strangers, a strange place, a strange school in a strange town. So I understand how it must have felt to find out that someone really does want you. It's hard to believe! But it must be so wonderful! I hope you cherish these beautiful people who have opened their lives to you, and you all have the best of times to come ❤

    Love has to be unconditional. Take on a stinky little thirteen year old and you have to love him just for being that. After all the tears, comfoting and tantrums that are to come, possibly the "I hate you" programme too and the banging of many doors along with the thump of oversize feet rushing up the stairs in pure rage (we've all gone through that): he will love you as deeply as all the love you've shown to him whilst you bit your lip and bought him that new pair of trainers he was howling for. Parental NO!!! rarely means never, does it? How I envy you both.
