This poor child was to suffer many more setbacks in his life. He was hospitalized at 6 months old for food poisoning, his birth mom was developmentally delayed and didn’t realize baby fromula needed refrigeration in Texas at summer temperatures.

He was to endure more tragedy being molested by both parents and was involved in incestual abuse with his baby brother..they were aged 2 and 3.
His mother left the perpertrator and moved up north. It was at this time that the 3 and 1/2 year old ended up displaying and reporting the fact that abuse was at hand of mother and father!! The state stepped in they were placed in foster care. They were soon placed in seperate homes due to displays of incestual behavior. My son in later years carried the guilt of having “broken up” the family. The hardest part was being separated from his brother, the only loving, trusting person in his life. well I see comment has surpassed word limit it seems.

To make a long story short, I know there won’t be a card in the mail or a visit Sunday, but I am grateful to have been able to raise this young man into adulthood. He is a kind young man, compassionate to all(except us) but thats not surprising. I am proud of how he does treat others and the joy he has for life, no poor mes ever. I am lucky that he is able to talk and is physically a healthy young man. Happy Mother’s Day to me !! We did a great job with the tiny boy arriving with BIG garbage bag figuratively as well as literally. I pray that his load has lessened as he has grown and has been loved and been shown kindness and love abundantly as he dispenses it as well.
