[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 647600, member: 13260"] I'm so sorry that you've been going through all this, and those are some lucky kids to have you and your husband willing to go the distance. I think you're amazing. I just wanted to add something: I'm a foster child, and was left in a shelter at age 10, then sent to a foster home that I left the minute I graduated high school. My early childhood was chaotic with a lot of moves because we were a military family, alcohol abuse, my mother's mother committed suicide with my mother watching, so she ended up in foster care, too. A real mess. But, I'm here, I'm pretty good, I wasn't a huge problem for my foster family. My younger brother was fostered with me (he was not quite 3) and he did have more problems, but he never hurt anyone but himself. So hell, I don't know. I was never adopted, but even though I didn't get along with my foster mother (she was an alcoholic, too), I'm glad I was there. Much better than the craziness with my bio family and my time in the children's shelter. Just another foster/adoptive story to throw in the mix. [/QUOTE]
