[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 340055"] We also have an adopted difficult child. Over the years, a few have mentioned that observing our situation "got them to think." Then, they strongly implied that it changed their minds re: adoption. It made me feel "weird." Kinda bad. But then again, I do wish I was more aware of certain things. One thought...perhaps those that changed their minds were meant to change their minds. Perhaps it is good that they saw my situation and made this decision. Sometimes people "see" things and don't take heed. Sometimes they see, but don't see. husband and I knew almost immediately that we would not adopt again. Our difficult child has a beautiful heart. But there is so much more to the story. We are tired to the bone. Grandchildren are the furthest thing from my/our minds. It has always been my hope and prayer that any grandchildren would come if and only if their parents were in a loving/committed partnership and financially and emotionally stable. This is the way husband and I did it and this is the way we strongly encouraged our children to look at it. Through much hard work, the Grace of the One above, the help of others...husband and I feel good and move forward each day. [/QUOTE]
