[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 327800, member: 6370"] Boy, I get it too! I remember wanting to leave my body when I was around our difficult children' classmates. It was painful to watch our sons be in their own world while others were following instructions and paying attention. It is ironic that our difficult children are American born, their biomom was under the care of a good ob-gyn who assured us that "these are good babies" yet our easy child spent the first 9 mos of her life in a crib in a Russian orphanage. We truly never can predict what will be the future of a child. Agee, circumstances do often improve. Your son is blessed to be in a country where he can find help. I am conflicted about the whole idea that a woman will damage her fetus if she has a few drinks while pregnant, I really mean "a few", not a life of constant inebriation. All of southern Europe should be affected then , including me, because those women DO drink while pregnant. When we went to easy child's orphanage a prospective adoptive parent asked that husband check out the three year old boy she wanted to bring to the US. The director and staff were desperate to get him placed before his move to "the big boy home, ages 3-7 years". After 7 they get moved again. It broke our heart to see this lovely little boy, sporting a bow tie and short pants, surely borrowed for the occasion, reciting a Russian poem like a trained seal. husband gave him his stamp of approval and I wanted to take him home! I also grieve all my miscarriages, that pain goes under ground and bubbles up every once in a while. So, yes, I get it! Many hugs and you can always pm me if you want to talk about your Russian experience, ours was life changing and terrifying. [/QUOTE]
