[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the adoptive parent of three children, I can honestly say that I do regret it.  The kids were 9, 9 and ten when they came to live with us.  We loved them, provided well for them and they've brought us nothing but pain. They were totally out of control as teenagers and made our lives a living hell. Despite thousands of dollars spent on counseling, they've grown  up to be angry, non productive adults. Instead of being angry at the parents who abused and abandoned them, they turned their anger on us. My husband is gone now, and I've finally accepted the fact that they have no affection for me, they can't be trusted and I'm better off just to have no contact with them.  We weren't equipped to deal with their pain and I'm not sure anyone could have made a difference for them. It's very sad and I am permanently scarred by the experience.  All I can say is that we tried.  [/quote]

Those poor kids :( I'm so so sorry for them. [/quote]

I'm so sorry for all involved - parents and children. Such a sad story.[/quote]
