Your Dad is beautiful and Honest... Carly we have very different issues in our house - our son grew up knowing he was adopted and black - we are white..... what I did find that people either just stare or stare and make very snide comments and the odd brave one or two would actually question me as to the origins of my son!! You are amazing Carly I love reading your posts and the work on awareness is awesome...

The quote by Elizabeth Stone sums it up "Making the decision to have a child - it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.". <br /><br />Having special needs children is so much harder AND MORE REWARDING. As a parent you blame yourself. You go through all the things you have done that could possibly have made this happen. Regardless of whether or not it is even possible that you were at fault. You dream of this perfect world for your child. You want the absolute best for them. It breaks your heart when their life doesn't go exactly according to plan and worry. You worry ALL THE TIME. <br /><br />You sound like you have a fantastic dad there. He sounds like he went through a lot of the same struggles my husband did when our second child was in the process of being diagnosed with Aspergers...and he is the best dad in the world. <br /><br />((((Hugs))))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-57512859600772479532013-05-13T11:06:02.094+10:002013-05-13T11:06:02.094+10:00It must have been hard.
