[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 750841, member: 23706"] Hi and thank you. Yes, our peace of mind can be blown in an instant. Kay used being adopted as a weapon against us starting around eleven. She felt we were a mismatch and was and is very bitter about being in a family that is full of personalities that she can't relate to. Our family on both sides is quiet, polite, apt to turn away from conflict, academically gifted, athletic and kind in a soft way. Kay is and always has been funloving, dramatic, very loud, musically gifted, artistically inclined, an average student, unmotivated, and rather depressed and anxious. She is also unusually beautiful in.a family that goofs around about our very average appearances. Kay could have been a model but she didn't want to fo the work. Kay was also adopted from abroad so we "kidnapped" her from her heritage although her birthmother had relinquished her parental rights. We were aware of actual kidnapping of kids for adoption so we were meticulous. I do feel social workers who match families should take more care, but Kay was very young. How did anyone k ow her personality? She was a few months old. We loved her to the heavens and still do, although a tiredness is attached to that love now. A feeling that it is hopeless, that we need to keep rescuing her in order for her to even act civil toward us. It is heartbreaking. This was not something my husband and I needed on this beautiful morning. I can't help the guilt, although I know it is irrational. God bless you. [/QUOTE]
