I removed a post I had posed several days ago. Not because I am embarrassed or feel it was harmful in anyway now or later to Teddy. But because whether or not advice or comments were meant to be positive they were not what I was looking for. It was to make others aware that we don't always know how our children (or other people in general) feel and think. To take the time to stop and really make sure daily that you know how their day is going. Ted is doing great. He has many people who love and care about him and he will be getting professional help at school and outside if needed, We thought he was doing well with the move we made almost 2 years ago but now we know he isn't. We thought he was bonding and feeling secure in the family but maybe he isn't. We do know that Ted loves attention, he loves to be the loudest in the room and always right, he pouts easy and always thinks someone else has made out better then him. These are issues we have worked on for 5 years but now its time for some outside help.
Now for the title of my post. Isn't it interesting we go to other families adoption blogs hoping to find out what its really like, how a child has transitioned into your family. But we get is "oh they are doing wonderful" "its like they have always been with us" "It was a wonderful experience".........Then when you read one that puts some real stuff out there you get comments like "Do you think you want your child to see this someday?" "Should this be on a public forum?" Its sad, I think we make people who suffer feel like they suffer alone (in life in general).
Now back to posting about our current adoption were everyone is waiting for cute pictures of our daughter and our journey to China.
