My blog about parenting biological and adopted kids, some with everyday kid issues and some with much more serious medical/behavioral issues. I don't care if anyone else ever reads this, my main purpose is for me to have somewhere to vent some of my thoughts, frustrations and successes. If it sounds like I'm complaining, I'm not. My kids are everything to me, I love them more than anything, but sometimes I just need to let it all out!

Hope he feels better. Happy New Year!
Thank you, Christine. When we were waiting for Drew's surgery to be done, I thought of you and Dennis and how much more you all still have to go through.
