We started seeing his worst behaviors a couple months before finalization. We are managing, but I feel like the agency really pushed us to finalize quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297187633667006047.post-6190653183711211422011-02-18T21:34:46.015-07:002011-02-18T21:34:46.015-07:00Yes, thank you for this post!

In our case, we were VERY lucky with the fact that the kids have no real behavior issues. One we suspect FASD, but even at that, it is minor to some of what it is out there. <br /><br />Yet, those kids need love and a family. Just the family who is prepared! So many people go into adoption thinking 'love will conquer all' when often, it is just NOT enough!Missional Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007045890708408269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297187633667006047.post-68979475223584786592011-02-18T10:09:52.168-07:002011-02-18T10:09:52.168-07:00Yep, I've seen this so much.

And so many hear about all the children available in our US system, but unfortunately don't understand that the majority are "listed" because of significant issues, many of which are why many foster parents don't adopt themselves the children in their care. Not always the case by any means, but many times.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106155913054285175noreply@blogger.com
