I already had deleted Paige's snark comment on there and now after receiving several pm's on it, how it's not fair that the OP can say something offensive about her kids' bmom and Paige can't snark, I figure it's headed in a direction called "south".
It has 850 some views which means the 2 main anti groups are prowling around again (daily, but this is definitely being watched). Raven posted which I left up because it's not a snark even though I know she's not all that interested in the response.
So I've posted and if it gets heated, just close it. I've no more patience for these off site evil haters.

I must be adopted too! My mom didn't care about the rest of the house, but her room was spotless. In my house I try to keep most of the house picked up, but I toss everything into my room and never seem to get around to cleaning in there so it's got stuff piled. Oh and my friend's cousin's boyfriends mother, read this study in a magazine at the beauty shop that said that if you give the kids a glass of wine after each immunization then they will also be immune to cancer and colds and circumcision. It only works if the bio parents had red hair though. At least I think that's what she said. So I am going to immunize my bio kids but not my adopted ones, and anyone who doesn't agree with me is evil and stupid.

Rainey, I truly think the problem is that most of us have no clue about RAD, etc. I have learned so much from all of you who deal with that stuff with your kids! I was watching "Adoption Stories" on the tv today and wanted to gag. How smoothly the process went and how the children just fit into the adoptive family whether they were 12 from Columbia (that girl had to say goodbye to siblings who adopted by someone else, but came with a baby from the same orphanage.) or 14 and 15 yr old siblings from the US, who had been in foster care for 10 years, adopted by a single man who then began a relationship with a woman who has a daughter. In all cases everything is wonderful!Why isn't real life like that? Now of course, I can't praise the aparents on here because that would be patronizing! but I will tell you that I am a firm believer in "callings". I'm glad that raising these children is your calling and that, like the rest of us who parent (or have parented) you struggle on day by day!

Crick, just wait till a day when they are driving you nuts and give them all the wine they need and then they will sleep really good!Kath, thanks but sometimes I feel a little guilty because to be honest, had I known about the RAD, I would not have adopted him. It's caused a lot of turmoil for our entire family. But, I didn't know until it was too late. I am not going to put him on a plane. LOL (though there have been days, when the thought appealed, LOL) I have educated myself like crazy and gotten to know lots of parents dealing with the same things and learned that most of them have the same issues with relatives, neighbors and teachers. It's just a topic too scary to wrap your mind around if you don't have to, LOL. It's much easier to stick with discussing vaccines and breastfeeding and things that you can control and that you can tell yourself are black and white. Without a known for sure way to cure RAD, it makes it harder for people to argue about. So they avoid it. Even on this forum where it is such a huge part of so many aparents lives, those posts don't get near the response others do.
LOL, Deb...so enlightening!!
I can't tell you all how tempted I am to start a thread on tongue piercing and tattoos now. kathy...you are evil! I can just see it now.
"I really want my child to have a picture of their first mom tattooed on their chest so they always have her close to their heart. I'm just really stumped on what words to put with it. Any ideas?"

So mid-piercing discussion I leave to take Daniel to karate. Where he immediately falls and has a nice hole where we think his tooth went through his lip. After three hours in the ER all I can think of is 'We could just put a nice diamond stud in the hole and call it good. Eight isn't too young to have his lip piereced!' Bad Mom! LOL! (Rest assured we did end up going with the stitches not the diamond!)

LOL! Probably a 1/2 carat with a nice sliver setting would have done it. Definetly a clear white with his skin tone. ;)
He went off to school happy as a clam this morning. His lower lip is pretty big and the strings from the two stitches half way between his lower lip and his chin are disgusting but overall none the worse for it. He is definetly my tough one.
Though he had to have special toast with jam for breakfast because he didn't think he could chew cereal. Even though he was eating beef stroganoff and french bread at 10:00 last night! He also knows how to play a situation for all it is worth! LOL!
