I think every new foster/adoptive parent needs to take you home with them. I have only been a foster mom since August, but after having a 4 yr old girl with what I am pretty sure was RAD, I have been so aware of how naive we are going into this whole thing, and how unprepared parents are to dealing with this. When are you goint to write a book and have a workshop?? You have a lot to teach people!Mom of these kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605360771922832135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-52811486477262408032009-02-26T23:02:00.000-05:002009-02-26T23:02:00.000-05:00Oh I hate the waiting!

It is so hard to wait when you have momentum going! <BR/>You are way ahead of me when it comes to having given up the career. I still hold little pity parties for myself on that one. Kicking and screaming is right! It is what it is and it is how things are right now. Anyway, I would cross my fingers but then I couldn't type lol. So, pushy thoughts!The Accidental Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409271721074309249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-25218425197944656402009-02-26T10:14:00.000-05:002009-02-26T10:14:00.000-05:00Hang in there, hopefully it will all work out.I ag...Hang in there, hopefully it will all work out.I agree with Alyssa's mom, outside the box is essential. <BR/>Speaking of which we took you BRILLANT idea of using Gi at bedtime and the hubby made up some just for the boys, they are loving them, he mixed them with EMDR beats as well and put some music on the end - sleeping boys! Thanks for the great idea.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06561280926172635650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-18149313953980429242009-02-26T09:43:00.000-05:002009-02-26T09:43:00.000-05:00Yup, I agree!

Being able to think outside the box is a plus!<BR/><BR/>In all seriousness, I truly admire your devotion to J and your desire to jump back in the trenches. You are a much better Mom than I am because I really don't think I could start from square 1 again.<BR/><BR/>You are all in my prayers!Alyssa's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004459693104286954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-54961552315844665572009-02-26T09:09:00.000-05:002009-02-26T09:09:00.000-05:00I just found your blog yesterday and want to thank...I just found your blog yesterday and want to thank you profoundly for sharing your work, your story and your passion for your daughter. I too have an 8 year old daughter with RAD and have recently given up my professional status as a college professor to be at home with her and my other adopted kids (one of whom has ODD, among other things.) I am excited to read more of your journey but from what I have read so far I think that other little girl out there would be so lucky to have you. I firmly believe that if it is meant to be it will be so I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!Not twohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04064697926732292627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-53144702188793405952009-02-26T00:28:00.000-05:002009-02-26T00:28:00.000-05:00Waiting does suck.Still throwing good vibes in you...Waiting does suck.<BR/><BR/>Still throwing good vibes in your direction!<BR/><BR/>Keep fighting the good fight.Muppet Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02468526883633775085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-89048112317659851502009-02-25T22:04:00.000-05:002009-02-25T22:04:00.000-05:00Waiting sucks.

If anything, you could spend some time researching the facility' "philosophies" while you wait so you can talk their game.
