[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 232132, member: 1550"] OMG, you guys are the GREATEST! Marg, what a GREAT response and klmo, oh, your hurting heart!!!!! I know it's not about us not being "enough." N. has moments of sadness over the adoption. Most of her days are filled with laughter and happiness and great friends--she is fortunate that she was not born a difficult child (I do believe difficult child's are born that way--my own bio. child has many issues he has always had). The support group would be great, except the one we had out here fell apart due to lack of interest. You bet I used to go and would start another one if I thought it would take hold. We have a low population here...and it shows. We lack many support groups that big cities have. Maybe I"ll try though. I can call Social Services and see what they think...maybe they'll help. My daughter does see a therapist she has known forever. It started when we adopted the child who sexually abused her and my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son. They have never gotten out of touch and I feel their good adjustments after that trauma have to do with her good support and help. So daughter has her to talk to about her adoption sadness as well as me and her father. I'm grateful to have found such a caring, helpful therapist. As one who has had about twenty therapists in my life, I KNOW how hard it is to find a gem like her! And it's great to have a board like this one with so many kind, wise people. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
