For those who see I have added difficult child#2, aka My Stray, I thought I had better explain.

He came to us via a truck stop in MI in September. The poor thing has been bounced from bio-mom to Residential Treatment Center (RTC), to foster care to Residential Treatment Center (RTC), to bio-dad, to Uncle, to grandma, to aunt, then to the street, where we found him. Poor baby hadn't had food in 3 days and only had the cloths on his back.

He is one of those difficult children that fell through the cracks, and whose bio-parents didn't understand or know how to deal with him. They didn't understand the side effects of medicine that made him worse. Bio-mom was drug addict, and foster parents and bio-dad couldn't deal with him.

Luckily I do understand and can deal with him. :smile:

He gets along with my difficult child and pcs ok. Nothing major, just usual sibling stuff. He calls me and husband, mom and dad. That is fine with us.

Currently working on getting him medical insurance, a new evaluation, a job, a car, and a license. Already tracked down birth certificate.

He's a good kid who just need some guidence and help.

I can do that! :its_all_good:

<span style="color: #993399"> PASSAGE
Your mother loved you dearly
But that love was not enough,
With tears in her eyes and guilt in her heart
She had to give you up.

You started life, far from certain
Moving from home to home,
A search began to fill your void
A family to call your own

Days dragged on, and into weeks
And months turned into years,
Old enough to look for mommy and dad
But the horizons never near

Your life on hold, bonds incomplete,
Growing older with every day,
Hoping and dreaming every night
For a permanent home to stay

A call is made, “a child we have”
Of course we want this child!
More than ready to fill a heart felt void
Knowing your trust will be meek and mild

You quietly question another move
Is my search over or still continuing?
You keep to yourself, hiding here and there
As the question begins diminishing

You eye all the other children
Their love helps you on your way,
You see, once they were where you are
At the start of their first new day

You give us your trust, you warmed to our love
We’re finally now mommy and dad,
Our heart now filled, the bonds now complete
Your tears for a family, now glad

Your mother sent you on a journey
God’s destination she did not know,
So little, you made your passage
From her heart into our own.</span>
