Dearest Jae I think what I wrote was misunderstood. I didn’t mean that adopting was off topic for this group. I meant the fact that I was writing about many wishing to adopt babies rather than just kids (of any age) might be off topic. There are many many children in foster homes that are not adopted just because of there ages. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding I may have created in my poor choice of words. Hope this finds all having a half way decent night. By the way I think I’ll be a grandpa real soon. I’ll let ya’ll know.

Growing old is inevitable…. Growing up is optional……
Response:
How could this possibly be off topic, darlin’. There are those here that are lonely, that feel there is no purpose to their lives, that have good hearts and loving natures, would they search their hearts and perhaps end their own loneliness and that of a Child, also. There is no truer love than the love of a Child. There is no greater sense of accomplishment than to help them end their nightmares and find joy in their small worlds. There is no….sorry, this is one thing I can get too emotional on….Hugs, Jae – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Chief wrote: > Maybe off topic but many that wish to adopt are looking for babies.

Why is it, darlin’, that we cannot see our own, in this country, who are in need of parents. I work with the Children from the home. The little boy, only five who has scars around his waist from the metal belt his parent heated on the stove and put round him to punish him…….the boy that is 11 whose hair is falling out from the stress in his life. There are more….but, I get too upset in the telling of them to tell you more. They are in the Children’s home here. They are free to be adopted as parental rights have been severed by the courts. But, who wants them? They will grow in that home. And yes, they are cared for there, but it is not the same as being in a loving family. But, they are not cute and cuddly babies or toddlers…..and they have problems because they have been abused in some ways….and so no one wants them. I know there are Children in other countries in need of love and care, but shouldn’t we look to cleaning up our own doorsteps first? Jae Growing old is inevitable…. Growing up is optional……
Response:
And the other side of this.. it is difficult to adopt a child here in America.. I have seen these horrors.. and It tore me apart.. that it is "normal" for a child to grow up this way.. I have 4 woman friends who could not have children, could not find a child to adopt here in America. and they had so much to give.. they fought for years to adopt one of those children, or mayhap several of them.. but red tape and country ties prevented all but one of them.. and the child is beautiful, he was age 3 when chosen.. and there was much healing to be done.. but he is 10 and a gift to her family and our country..for we are the mixing pot.. Why is it that those countries can not see deprivation does not build character nor countrymen.. I do not understand why it is made so difficult to resolve the crisis, when there are so many that would want them here.. Pamela strikes <l…@omen.com.au> wrote in message
