[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 512979"] Hopefully somehow she is going to figure out a way to make this apartment work... I totally understand your worries and my hope is that somehow she proves you wrong....sometimes we really hate to be right. As for getting her the stuff. I totally understand that. We want to show we love and support them even if we think they are being foolish... I felt that way when we got our son the last bike which I don't even want to ask him about now because I strongly suspect he sold it. I don't know about you but I think this may be even stronger with kids who were adopted, because we want them so much to really take in our love... and helping set them up in a home of their own is such a symbol of that. However listen to your gut feelings.... if you are feeling some shame (although I don't think you should feel shame) it is telling you something. Maybe you should hold off a couple of weeks in giving her the stuff and see how she is managing? TL [/QUOTE]
