[QUOTE="Vanilla, post: 88327, member: 2026"] April, you and your husband have done a noble thing in adopting two children who have been hurt by their past. I don't think you need anyone here to tell you that you are probably in for years of struggle, but there is so much wisdom and experience on this website that you will learn a great deal. Please avail yourself of all the services for mental health that you can access. Take care of yourself and your marriage too. Children with emotional/behavior problems can drain your energy and your spirit sometimes. Many times you will find yourself fighting for your kids, and often fighting with them, sometimes at the same time. And yes, you will most likely encounter feelings of wanting to give up on the adoption. No one can tell you what is right or wrong for you but you are among friends here, people who have shared your circumstances. Stay strong, and welcome! [/QUOTE]
