Two young girls I know were placed in foster care recently and I was curious about some things. I read one or two of your posts and then had to go back and read the whole thing. I'm glad everything turned out well in the end, and that you still get to see Niblet. If only all cases could turn out like this or better. I'm sure everything will come into place for you two soon. <BR/><BR/>-cassieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23062320.post-1164823656219740882006-11-29T13:07:00.000-05:002006-11-29T13:07:00.000-05:00This is exactly what I'm dreading when Baby Bear l...This is exactly what I'm dreading when Baby Bear leaves. I know that we need a break, some recovery time and yes some uninterrupted sleep. But even though we've only been at this for two months, we already feel like parents. And I don't know how that works once the kids are gone...<BR/><BR/>Good luck! I am hoping that the adoptive placement happens very, very, soon.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954918065641135178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23062320.post-1164145233368703802006-11-21T16:40:00.000-05:002006-11-21T16:40:00.000-05:00I hear you!

I committed to taking a break.<BR/><BR/>And yet I think about the next kid.<BR/><BR/>Unlike you though I'm addicted to teenagers. Babies hold very little appeal, unless they belong to someone else. Then they are wonderful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
