First of all I want to thank you for saving your children from a life in foster care and giving them a place they can call home....I saw a very touching film called “A Place Called Home” that was shown @ The Heartland Film Festival. It is a documentary about an Indianapolis family that adopts a family of children that survived a horrible abuse situation and how this family overcame tremendous obstacles to provide a loving home for their children.
just have the tissues ready....
thanks, Kimmers, but my whole life EVERY DAY involves “tissue” moments, with how grateful and happy my own children are with the life God has given them with me. It really is possible to have kids who have been horribly abused and neglected to give and receive love from others, regardless of the “horror stories” you hear about. The key, i think, is in parents (like me) who are PREPARED for the needs of these special children, and who are willing to put ALL of our own issues and needs and desires aside, so the kids can have the BEST CHANCE at recover and healing and wholeness.
My children are amazing — inspiring — and are each a miracle story on their own.
