[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 305811, member: 59"] As some of you know I was able to locate difficult child's birthmother and filled out the paperwork to reestablish contact with difficult child. That was over six weeks ago. When the agency contacted her she claimed she wanted contact and was excited and would fill out the required paperwork. I made it clear that my expectations were that she would support us in our effort to get difficult child on the right track and not just a social reunion. The agency assured me she understood. Like I said that was over six weeks ago and as of yet she has not made a move to make this happen. She lost her home several years ago and lived in a shelter for a while until a friend took her in. She has had a job now for two years but evidently still can't make it on her own. Her words were that she was afraid difficult child would be disappointed in her. Excuse me but shouldn't her first priority be helping difficult child especially after we explained the issues? She is worried what difficult child will think about her instead of what she can do to help difficult child. It makes me angry that difficult child continues to treat us the way she does when we have been the ones who have been there for her all these years and put her above our own needs. Nancy [/QUOTE]
