And poor Emiliee... to be that young and have that much anger! <BR/>Maybe what she needs is to be an only child somewhere, in some sort of therapeutic foster home where someone would be able to supervise her 24/7 and maybe have a locking Time-Out room or something... I have heard of homes like that. <BR/>I hope you will be able to keep JP with you!Angel The Alienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158672957404194956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211222054420935667.post-74073389444091975142007-11-21T08:45:00.000-06:002007-11-21T08:45:00.000-06:00What Yondalla said.

Our (almost) son had been in numerous homes prior to ours; when we felt we couldn't provide the level of care he needed, he went to another home. After a few months, he was back on our doorstep because that placement fell apart. A few days later, he was placed with a young family. A little more than a year later, they finalized their adoption of him. He's still got some issues but he's got a family who loves him and can deal with the issues he has.<BR/><BR/>We've been fortunate in not having any false accusations (yet). And I honestly don't know how I would handle it. I do feel the decision to stay or leave is always dependent on the situation and the child. This decision was what is right for your family. Period.<BR/><BR/>All is not lost. You will always keep Emilee in your hearts.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497284693223622245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211222054420935667.post-89221797577233914062007-11-20T15:51:00.000-06:002007-11-20T15:51:00.000-06:00Oh, Jodi...such a hard way to start a family.

I feel like I can't risk doing that to another kid. I feel that way even though I also believe I did the right thing for Frankie -- both in taking him and recommending that he go back.<BR/><BR/>Before we start care we don't know what we can handle. We learn. I don't think you are in care for the wrong reason, but you are learning where your limits are.<BR/><BR/>Do you have my number? You can call if you like.<BR/><BR/>Do let me know what happens with JP. It is so difficult knowing when to separate siblings so that one can have a stable home and when to keep them together.Yondallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375966725096729570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211222054420935667.post-66919902513409078332007-11-20T14:14:00.000-06:002007-11-20T14:14:00.000-06:00I can't even imagine making this decision... my he...I can't even imagine making this decision... my heart is breaking for all of you.
