If this board were to merge would you continue to provide feedback? Would Susan also continue? I am sensitive to mental health neglect issues. I've seen far too much. Notwithstanding the advocacy issues this board provides a lot of support to parents of adopted children. I hope that if the decision is made to merge with another board the you and Susan continue on, as well as all who ( or may ) contribute to the support provided.

The questions and answers here have been very helpful to me also and I thank you for being here. I hope you will stay. I also appreciate it when you answer questions on the other board.

I may not always post a question but I really think I shall in the future.Thank you for your time to some here and post answers and thank you viewers for coming and asking questions. You are all incredible, supportive, meaningful and just plain helpful.Mandie
