We are going to be a forever family of three. Forever.
We are going through a rough patch just like all families do.
Middle Boy kind of hit in on the head last night when the three of us were talking. He said "Will we be a more normal family when we don't have all of these other people making decisions for us and coming in and out of our house?" Good grief...I hope so.
I don't know of many biological families who write reports on how each other is doing every month. Log who takes meds and who doesn't. Sits down and has a meeting with at least five people present so they can talk about how everything is going in all areas of their lives. I don't know many families who have someone say "you will visit your sibilings twice a month for two hours every other Saturday" and pay no regard to what you usually do on Saturdays. There aren't many families who can't actually hang out as a family, because they are too busy going to everything they are court appointed to do.
Granted...I am not complaining. This is just how our life is and how it is hard...really hard...to know what life will be like as a forever family.
Prayers that the transition is smooth.
