[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 527947, member: 9175"] Many hugs. I can only imagine how much this must hurt. I agree with three shadows about adopted kids. There are some rare cases where the kids are accepting and live their lives with the families who raised them with only the typical bumps along the way. But I do think that's rare. My daughter has used that exact expression "a hole in my heart". It hurts me to hear that, but I've come to accept that all of my parenting - with all of its good intentions - simply cannot fill a "hole" that was created in the mind of my daughter. Your son will soon see that his bio family is not the family of his fantasies. Most likely they are more Dickensian than Disney, and time will reveal that. In the meantime, hang in there.
