Today I can officially say my son is 18 years old! I feel so happy & relieved that we HAVE broken the cycle. For me it's the biggest achievement I could ever achieve! My mom was in care. I was in care & moved 51 times & had 33 convictions by 18. My son has never been in care. 🎊

I think the hardest thing for anyone that is a foster parent or an adoptive out of care parent is RAD. Constantly feeling like a failure to connect to a child that’s been traumatized by other people. Reaping what someone sowed. My biggest struggle, my daughter cringes at hugs. 😢
