[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 677925, member: 19522"] Wakeup, You did a very generous and extremely loving thing. You adopted a child. You did it because you wanted to, to love and guide this person, give someone in need a chance, give a child the goodness you have, even against the advice of your people. No one knows why our d cs are, as they are. No one can predict this outcome. So your family said don't do it. You did, because you had the right heart and intentions and gave everything in you to raise him. No regrets. He still has a chance to turn around. Things happen, kids grow up and live their lives. Some of them, our d cs, go from one bad choice to the next. It happens. It is sad, heart wrenching, horrible and it is life.......but there is always hope. Don't be so hard on yourself, you offered your heart, your home and your love. You extended your graciousness, against all odds, to give a child a fighting chance. Your son is on a path of his choosing. It is not what you had imagined for him, and it is hard enough to go through this, added with other peoples judgement, I told you so's, or rolling of the eyes. Eye rolling is not nice. Don't let it get to you. It is none of their business. You have already proven everything you needed to, to [I]yourself.[/I] You adopted a child, loved him the best you could, and now he is living his life, his choices. Live your truth. Never mind anybody else. This is your life, your truth. The truth is, you did a good thing. You gave a child a chance. (((Hugs))) leafy [/QUOTE]
