[QUOTE="200Meters, post: 747807, member: 23727"] We adopted Youngest, [URL='https://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/hello.66171/'][U]the reason why I've come here[/U][/URL], at the wee age of 2.5 weeks, & Oldest at 4 months. We were unable to have biological kids (which proves the old adage that G-d answers all prayers, just for some of them His answer is "No."). Sometimes, usually when things are / were going roughly with the boys, I wonder if Mrs. 200Meters and I should have stayed just a couple, if our inability to have biological kids was a message that perhaps we should have stayed just a couple. Then I remember how unhappy we were when we were childless & how happy we were upon adopting our boys. I can't / don't second-guess G-d nor do I have any claims on Him. Mrs. 200Meters and I have been together for over 30 years; what on earth could I possibly gripe about? Did you copy this from me? :) Mrs. 200Meters & I do this all the time. We know we'll never get our sweet little boy back but we're hoping that we'll get some of the sweetness back instead of the anger & destructive behavior we currently see. We want him to be a [I][URL='https://www.thejc.com/what-is-a-mensch-1.64427'][U]mensch[/U][/URL][/I]. Prayer is [I]always[/I] good, I never stop praying for Youngest & Oldest.
