[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 748706, member: 4152"] A difficult and heart wrenching question. We’ve had great difficulties and still do with our adopted (now adult) child. I know many others in the same boat. I’m not sure any of the marriages survived with the exception of my own (knock on wood and crossing myself). I worry about the future. For her and our bio child (also now an adult). To say it’s been extraordinarily difficult, taxing, life changing and so forth would actually be an understatement. Many times I lost my faith. I’ve been hurt health wise, financially and in every way. It has taught me to be more compassionate and accepting, less judgmental. But, the pain of it all has been monumental...and continues to this day. [/QUOTE]
