[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 410984, member: 1169"] Like all of the others, what I tell people has evolved over time. When Kanga first went away, I told people that it was a neurological issue and we weren't sure of the prognosis. Then we said she went to a special school. Now, 3 years later, I am pretty blunt as I have found that others have mental health issues and because no one talks about it, it stays in the shadows. Since Kanga will never be reintegrated into our community, I feel a little more open about telling things as they are. Course, I think Tigger's answer was the best. Adult: How many kids do you have in your family? Tigger: Three. We used to have 4 but we traded Kanga for a dog. Adult: (just stares at Tigger, trying to make it make sense) Me: (after Tigger ran off) We had two foster daughters who didn't stay with us. (Technically, we adopted Kanga but the answer serves its purpose.) [/QUOTE]
