Dealing with the unexpected

in Adoption, Parenting

This is a story of one couple's ride to Chinese adoption. Told their child would have severe problems, they decided to parent her. This has a happy ending. I do not fault anyone for making a different choice. If the child had had the severe problems they had been led to expect and they had decided to parent, it might have still had a happy ending, but the ending would have been different. Only the family knows what they are capable of. And many of us find out we were stronger than we thought, even if it meant taking another child. That would be their path to their child.
