I was mostly trying to remind others of this. Your experience sounds like it is being a foster child, with some really good foster parents. I know they were amazing because they called you "our child." And in a foster parent setting, that is not always the case.

No worries, you did not insult me. And thanks for sharing your experience. Not many people understand the struggles of loss that face children who can't live the "normal" childhood. Thanks for helping to open people's eyes.
