[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 254825, member: 3419"] Yes, Linda, I am a bit worried about them been crippled with pity. Good point. husband has always been a rescuer. I do not want easy child to follow in his footsteps; it is one thing to assist others, and another to not be able to address concerns in your own life because you've been distracted by others' needs. ThreeShadows, I've heard all sorts of things about Romanian and Russuan orphanages. Horrifying. We came within 2 wks of making plans to fly to Russia and at the last min, got a call about difficult child in VA Beach. I will definitely let you know if and when they go again. easy child will do her Sr report on this trip. Her camera was stolen out of husband's pocket while he was doing spinal exams in the boy's juv det ctr. (I knew that was going to happen. He gave it to her as an early birthday gift and the min she pulled out the tissue wrap, my stomach went into knots and I knew it would be the last time I would see that camera.) Luckily, she downloaded the photos onto someone's laptop the night b4 so she just has to get a hold of him. (I have no idea if he even lives in VA but that's her issue.) I want to attend her presentation. I'm hoping she does some of it in Spanish. I cannot imagine living like those kids--or adults--every single day. The wealthy live in gated communities and never cross paths with-the poor. There is virutally no middle class. [/QUOTE]
