Creating a Family: Talk about Adoption, Foster & Kinship Care I Feel Awful, But I Wish We Hadn't Adopted - Weekend Wisdom
Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.
Question: I was the one who wanted to adopt. My husband agreed because I wanted it so bad, but now, I’m the one who wishes we hadn’t done it. We adopted a 5-year-old little girl, who is now 7. The awful truth is that I don’t love this child. I don’t even like her very much. I wish I could turn back the clock.
