| ashlyn | Posted: Apr 17, 2006 05:25:58 PM i'm so happy for you and i think it's wonderful that someone finally agreees with me on this topic. most adults don't really care to adopt cildren between the ages of 5-17 because of disciplanary reasons. IT'S HARD TO DISCIPLAN ANYONE AT ANY AGE!!! (i should know, im 13. lol. im on here for a resarch paper for my english class.) much loves! ASHLYN | ||
| mg | Posted: Mar 24, 2006 09:51:47 PM I think that is terrific. I have actually thought about it myself, and we may actually try it a little later in life. We think we are just a little too young to adopt a teenager at this time, but I do work with them on a daily basis. They are only scary from a distance. Once you spend more time with teens, you get to see how fun and insightful they can be- even despite the garbage life has dealt to many of them. | ||
