[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 669487, member: 18958"] Headlights, I am a new member. Just shy of 6 months. Your post touches me so. I admire your resiliency and your hope and wisdom. I am touched by your son as well. Impressed by his courage and his tenacity. It takes strength to want more and to commit to doing it, knowing the forces and strength of them, that oppose it. My only child, too, is adopted. He came home at 22 months. At first he was under fost-adopt, a foster child who was intended to be adopted. My son's birth parents still had parental rights. How I marvel at my hope and courage and innocence to love him so much when he was not yet mine. How much hope I had that all of my love could make everything right. How hard it is to see that love has not carried the day, while it has carried a great deal. My son was diagnosed with Hep B when he was 19 that was transmitted by his birth mother and not caught at birth when an antidote could be given. This diagnosis devastated him. And me, too. I think our stories are tales of great love and constancy. While we feel most strongly the pain and the fear--in my case frustration and anger, too--ours are love stories of hope and struggle. That is what I hear in yours. I am glad you have posted. Thank you for sharing where you are. COPA [/QUOTE]
