[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 87457, member: 3626"] I think success depends on the age of your child. When I first adopted my daughter, success was college, a career, marriage, children. When she hit puberty, it was not a drug addict living on the streets and pregnant. When she was in her Residential Treatment Facility (RTF), it was finishing high school, finding a trade. When she dropped out of high school, it was get her GED and find a job and keep it. She is now 20, still living with me, no GED as yet and no job. Oddly, I consider her a success. She is talking about getting her GED and starting college. She is actively looking for a job. She is helping around the house (not as much as I'd like but she is helping). She is not violent. She's not stealing. She's not sneaking around. She is beginning to have some concrete goals and getting frustrated that nothing is quite coming together but I know she is trying and I truly believe she will ultimately succeed. [/QUOTE]
