[blparent] family and adoption

[Peggy]

Wow these stories amaze me.  I'm lucky I had the doctors I've had over the 
years then because no one ever questioned my ability to have children.  Have 
you sterilized oh my!!  Amazing how people see things though, I was doing 
foster care for a long time but then all of a sudden they wouldn't let me 
anymore ... they stopped calling me to take in children and when I called 
for an explanation they wouldn't or couldn't give me one.  One person would 
say it was something I'd done another would blame it on my husband ... never 
ever got a straight answer.  Blindness maybe??  But yet there are foster 
parents out there who just want the money and don't care about these 
children at all!!

While my family questioned my capabilities, they eventually had to
leave me alone because i was determined and had asked them to leave if
they could not say anything nice.
But, i had a doctor who, after i had my fourth, suggested to my
parents that they get a lawyer and try to have me sterilized.
And, I had a pediatrician who suggested that i give my fourth child up
for adoption. She knew a mother who was bored and looking for a baby
to adopt.
A strange twist, when Kyler (my fourth) was 2yo, I met this woman. she
adopted two other children and had two teens. honestly, she was not
very  emotionally stable and she had this hero horn blowing complex.
And, to top it off, she was not very blind friendly and had a 4yo
blind adopted daughter. i found out later that she was the one who my
pediatrician was suggesting adopt my son.
UGGGG!
