As we have the very painful "can we do this?" conversations, it felt dismissive to read you say, "some parents re-home them like pets." I'm beginning to understand what an agonizing decision that must be for a family, and perhaps I'm a little raw and sensitive because of our circumstances. I did enjoy your book, and I hear BVBT may be getting to review another work from you! :) grtlyblesdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386260509307925901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626820356307919755.post-82062556869412435822014-04-28T09:19:27.802-07:002014-04-28T09:19:27.802-07:00Very important! :)Very important! :)grtlyblesdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386260509307925901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626820356307919755.post-31549948888975366912014-04-28T05:10:43.068-07:002014-04-28T05:10:43.068-07:00Hi Shecki -

I was in the middle of moving.<br />Wow, what an amazing blog you have here--and what a HUGE heart. You are truly blessed. <br />Thanks for reading Oksana's story and sharing it here. I'm sorry you found the comment in the back of the book condescending. Eek! I need to reread that because it's definitely not what I wanted to convey. Parenting children with RAD is one of the most difficult tasks a parent could have to live through and was the purpose of me writing this book--to show a little bit about why kids behave a certain way, to give adoptive parents insight (and hopefully compassion) into how difficult it can be.<br />Thanks for all you do for authors, but for children too!<br />Best,<br />Michelle Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009549832537163733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626820356307919755.post-8663999265507347742014-04-24T08:19:59.172-07:002014-04-24T08:19:59.172-07:00When I play with my children it makes them smile. ...When I play with my children it makes them smile.
