They all suffered from almost all of the things listed in your post, but he - being the oldest - received the worst of it. Adding insult to injury, they then spent over 4 years waiting in an orphanage until we came to get them.<br /><br />That being said, I agree that you must consider what is fair to the children and to your family when considering accepting a referral. Personally, I would adopt more children, but at this time, I don't think it would be fair to the children we would potentially adopt due to our kids' current and many needs right now.<br /><br />God Bless, and I pray that you receive a referral soon that matches the chilren's needs and your family's ability to support those needs.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14041381642753722385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1146971532849824060.post-26221522579779818392011-11-20T20:32:50.905-05:002011-11-20T20:32:50.905-05:00I saw a comment you wrote on RQ a few weeks ago an...I saw a comment you wrote on RQ a few weeks ago and started reading your blog because we are on a similar timeline and also adopting a sibling group. I am so sorry for this tough decision you have had to make. I can't even imagine how hard it was to decide and I can't imagine how much strength it must have taken. I wish you much peace in the days ahead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
