I work with a lot of students who are in the foster system and it seems those who are both clearly welcomed into their current family as a son/daughter and fully aware of their personal family history are the most well adjusted. I am blessed to hear how wise you have been in raising your son.brooksathertonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028215572252039669.post-10469806844982501242009-12-07T06:07:53.619-08:002009-12-07T06:07:53.619-08:00IT was the same with Emma.

It's amazing what kids can learn at really young ages,and so disappointing when you see parents that still baby toddlers and older, not understanding the child's learn potential, and their desire to learn at that age. <br /><br />And I have never understood some of the taboos we have, adoption being one of them. It sounds like you guys have done a great job of telling him how it is without waiting to explain it 'when he's old enough' or thinking that not telling him is somehow better for him. Those are fallacies that just lead to resent. <br /><br />I often wonder how you could raise a child in a village like Brevig and have that child escape the problems that seem embedded into society up there, but you guys seem to be showing how to do it with Harold!<br /><br />-SorenSorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886264376680709246noreply@blogger.com
