They are very round smooth pegs and the holes are hard edged and square. But we have to try to make things fit. This is the only construct that comes close. It allows the court to recognize our authority and knowledge as parents while acknowledging that we have no "Legal" obligation to do what we both know we will do. This way the court can give us the legal right and responsibility and ostensibly, thank us for doing what we were always going to do anyway. <br /><br />Maggie Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578683202372124444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-82071670886986788512013-06-05T15:53:00.463-07:002013-06-05T15:53:00.463-07:00Every day I read here I am grateful that Sophie is...Every day I read here I am grateful that Sophie is in the family she is in.

As someone pointed out here, there is a world of difference in "being in care" versus being "cared about."<br /><br />Were I not competent to handle my own affairs, I would also likely be shuttled into State care. It isn't easy for your family or for you particularly but Sophie has a better quality of life than she might otherwise, I think.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-16908958528706856082013-06-05T14:32:12.454-07:002013-06-05T14:32:12.454-07:00You might not always feel it, my friend, but you a...You might not always feel it, my friend, but you are grace personified.Tanya Savkohttp://tanyasavko.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-41163391740617560962013-06-05T12:48:47.493-07:002013-06-05T12:48:47.493-07:00What a difference a birthday makes.What a difference a birthday makes.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11108038613426722566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-19112278849977977912013-06-05T10:38:24.935-07:002013-06-05T10:38:24.935-07:00Such absurdity and yet, such necessity.
