> some of us go international.
We adopted a sibling group internationally. Two are special needs, one is borderline. Oldest was 11 when the adoption was made final. It was a very lengthy and costly process, but it was well worth it. They are beautiful, and we THANK GOD for them.
Hope you have good health insurance, or Budget for psychiatry- very expensive and age 13 ends a golden time
yes Thank God for them, and Thank God for us, it can be rather thankless sometimes, especially when your peers are traveling, gardening, putzing, taking up yoga, and migrating to winter condos in Del Boca Vista
