Did you read the part about my sister not contradicting the mother's blatant verifiable lies? It was hard but she did the right thing.
Yeah, my sister didn't have to speak ill of the birth father. He did it all on his own when he shot heroin in front of the kid and scared the shit out of him. He did the kid a favor.
Not sure what your point is with this thread and why you are telling me to stop.
Everybody's situation is different. And yeah, some kids come from real nightmare situations. Not all but some.
Besides my sister, I have 4 sets of friends with adopted children ranging from 3 years old to senior in high school.
One of my sets of friends fostered and subsequently adopted a boy that came from a similar nightmare situation. He's 5 now.
So out of those 5 couples, my sister and one other couple have kids that come from nightmare drug sistuations.
One couple, my patner's very close friend (he was "maid of honor" lol) has two children, a boy from Russia and a girl from Korea. The boy will be senior in high school next year attending Joffry Ballet. My partner and I see the boy more often because we are delighted to house him when he comes in to our neighborhood for training/classes or airport trips. Both kids are amazing. I have no idea what their situations were besides they were in orphanages.
Our former neighbor and very dear friends adopted a new born child from Mexico. I love that kid more than life itself. I picked him up at the airport when they came home. He's the only baby I would ever hold and the only baby ass I ever wiped. Lol. Long story. I would die for that kid. He will be 7 in July. I know a little about his situation and I know his mother loved him dearly and gave him up out of love. The kid hit the adoption jackpot - so much so I almost feel guilty knowing he has two siblings in Mexico living dirt poor. It sounds crazy and I've never told my friends but I feel like I want to go bring the rest of the family here. Or send them money or something. Weird, I know.
