[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 417943, member: 1722"] MWM- I haven't read the other replies so forgive me if I'm repeating. I can understand your concern due to Jumper's early abuse... but don't borrow trouble. She seems very well adjusted and has a healthy attitude about dating. I know you have made sure she knows you will make sure she receives any amount of counseling she may need because you love her. But.... I think perhaps you should seek out counseling specific to the sexual abuse for you. I imagine it's been gut-wrenching for you. I know you've made your peace with disrupting this particular adoption but I'm not so sure that you don't feel at least a small amount of guilt over the harm caused to the other kids in his wake. Of course it wasn't your fault, but loving parents tend to beat themselves up when their kids are hurt. That's just my .02, I hope I didn't offend you. [/QUOTE]
