Dread,

Concerning Mrs. D, I don't have the words... Be strong for her and know that we're thinking about you both always.

Concerning what you shared with us a few posts ago... You had been dealt a very bad hand my friend and you came out on top. You may not be at the level that you want right now, but the fight that you have in you that got you where you are today will continue to drive you until you are content with your place in life. You may not think it, but you are a success story of the system. You made it out and are leading a normal life. Lynn works with runaway and homeless youth in the state of Michigan, so I see and hear a lot more then most about foster care, boy's schools and the like. Don't you for one minute sell yourself short Dread, you have beaten all the odds that were against you so far, and you will continue to do so.

When/if you are ready to adopt, please contact me first. There are many bad agencies out there and Lynn has access to records that you'd never see. We've done this before for friends and we would be honored to help.

Peace
