[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 721442, member: 1550"] Thank you, Lil. When they called us about Sonic, they literally said, " If you dont adopt this child, he will end up in an institution. We called our black families and nobody wanted him so we called the rest of our families and nobody would take him either. You are his only hope." We were not even licensed yet, but we were close. I said yes then told my husband. I still get a lump in my throat remembering that call. We were going to adopt him even if he would have never progressed. We couldnt let him rot in an institution. All those people who said no to him missed out on having a wonderful young man in their family. We were blessed. Right after that Jumper was born and we adopted her from the hospital. And this is my family with this husband. I have never spent one day being sorry my family is as it turned out. I am so bursting proud of these kids, this family. But I never think i did anything to make these kids amazing. I always credit my kids. And, as you know, with my first husband...those kids struggled more. So...if anything I credit my wonderful second (but hardly lesser) husband who was also an amazing father... [/QUOTE]
