It ...It's not easy, I know- believe me I know. It took 6 months for things to really get better for us, but that is our situation and of course we still have plenty of issues. I have always said that the hardest part is weeding out what's an adoption issue? What's an orphanage issue? What's a neurological issue(in kim's case)? What's a trauma issue? What's a malnutrition issue? Slowly, a lot through trial and error, we have been able to sort some of that out. And parenting is ever evolving with an older child adoption, ever changing. Ahhh-the quiet, the easiness of raising kids who were pretty self sufficient...the further you get away from that old life the easier it will be. Hold on to knowing that you are exactly where God wants all of you to be. Doesn't mean it will be easy of course but all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us. Please feel free to talk with me if you ever need to!! The girls are beautiful!!The Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267785794303529355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-35479414083576149992011-06-22T09:12:03.294-04:002011-06-22T09:12:03.294-04:00Beautifully written... :)
