[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 678892, member: 19522"] Hi Rina, I am not a parent of an adopted child but I wanted to say how sorry I am for your hurting heart. I have two d cs out there who for all I know are still struggling with their challenges with addiction. One has gone no contact and the other, well the little contact I have had has not been pleasant to say the least, very sad and stressful. It is a heartache and I do know the pain of "losing" children in a manner of speaking, who still walk this earth. We have given them all we could to the best of our ability and raised them. No one knows what the future holds, even for our children who are doing well. I am glad your son is determined not to use drugs again. This is wonderful. Whether his wings take him back to his birth country or not, if he chooses to remain in your life, or not, you have given him this chance to have a good life. What a wonderful thing you have done. Bless your heart. My heart goes out to yours as you walk down this path. I guess for you and I and other parents out there who are on this journey, the most we can do at this juncture is remember the good times we had and the joy of raising our children. We can hope and pray that they are able to find their purpose and meaning in life. We can hope that one day they will look back and know that they were and are truly loved. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
