I'm a little bummed out tonight
 

Need to talk, makes me feel a little bit better. We were going to adopt an 8 yr old little girl, and she has been living with us for 10 months, but it just didn't work out. She and the Admiral just didn't get along. She and I were tightly attached. We took her to her new foster home today , so I'm bluesing pretty bad. Sorry to bring ya'll down. :'(

No bring me down, Frayed ... glad to hear ya'll the kinda great folks to attempt somethin' like that ... takes special people to make a huge commitment ... sorry it didn't work out , but all you can do is TRY ... take yer mind off it...go change the oil in your out-drive or somethin' ;) ...

So sorry to hear that bro. the Lords works in mysterious ways though and all things happen for a reason. I'm sure you planted some lifelong seeds in that little girls life and she will be a better person because of it. Chin up!

hang in there, the chemistry has to be right for the family to thrive.

A guy at work had 2 "crack" kids that he & his wife took in and the mom al of a sudden decided she was clean & sober and took them back, they fought it, but the judge went with the natural mom. they had those kids for 2 years. i think the mom just found how much more benefits the kids would get her.

I wish I knew what to say. That's got to be tough for everyone involved. I hope that something good happens to bring your spirits back up.

You will always have the memories of the two years you spent together and the fact of knowing you had some time to instill some good habits and lessons.

Dont beat your self up.. There are no guarantees even with you own kids...I dont think I could do it after raising two of my own..God knows ther are lots of kids that need a break but it has to be right for everyone or it will destroy the family...Frank
