thank you for sharing this.
Wonderful story.
I am so happy for you and your family.
“You know what’s crazy? The behavior problems possessed by bio mom as a child are the exact same behavior problems manifesting currently in our daughter.”
Same here with my sister and her now 20 yr old daughter that my mom now has to take care off.
I hope this doesn’t turn into yet another 30 year absolute nightmare from hell...
Amen, amen.
And, thank you for sharing that most BEAUTIFUL, personal story.
Blessing abound, all around.
