[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 448543, member: 9175"] I do think she experienced trauma, TL. Her bio mom crawled out of a bedroom window leaving her alone in her crib when she was three months old. That afternoon, she was moved into a new foster home and only saw her bio mom every two weeks for an hour. Does she remember? Of course not .... but it had to have been very scary for an infant. At 8 months, she came to us. I owned my own business and worked full time. After three weeks, she went to daycare. In retrospect, that must have been traumatic. Janet, I'm so sorry you went through what you went through. I know picking a female doesn't guarantee anything ... nothing does. I do suppose it could have happened, but she's been asked so many times in so many ways. Oh, and I feel your pain about your granddaughter. As I said, she was always like this. I know I'll never have all the answers. I guess I've really been struggling with guilt and with fear that I could have allowed someone to hurt her. I pray that, if she was abused, she can learn to talk about it and get help. If that's it at all. It is a reliefe to hear from the been there done that that it's not etched in rock somewhere that this is the only way. I can live without answers, but I have a hard time living with the idea that it is so black and white. I think I have to switch counselors .... this has come out at the last two sessions and she's been telling me I "have to find out". Sigh. Dash [/QUOTE]
