Families are families...there isn't a perfect scenario. And yes, class clowns start young!

I'm coming into foster care adoption from the other side: at your children's age I'm having to consider parenting a child who's only 12 years younger than I am, who could never have physically been my child. Because I'm thinking more about how that feels weird but how it's also doable and worth pursuing, I'm sympathetic to your awkward situations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657401083028342251.post-34917207155648647712009-10-03T07:57:38.978-04:002009-10-03T07:57:38.978-04:00just take it day by day...

Being older parents is challenging (and having grandchildren and children the same age is too), but there is also the up side of knowing wha't really important, and appreciating all those special moments of making a difference in a child's life. I may not be the BEST mom for our little guy, but I AM his mom - forever.
