On Monday afternoon Megan came and took Kr to a treatment respite home.  She will be there a week before she travels out to meet her new adoptive family.  I pray that everything works out for Kr and for this new adoptive family.  

I know we must seem like a horribly fickle family to those of you reading not more than 4 posts ago I was talking about how we thought we might adopt Kr.  I wish I could make people understand what we have gone through in the past 7 (?) weeks- I've lost track of time- but that is an impossible task.  Even my Grandmother does not understand our glee and sadness too at having Kr gone.  The sadness is not that she is no longer here but that she has gone through so much and yet chooses to be angry, bitter, mean and not learn from all of her hard experiences.  People say "oh that is so sad"  "poor thing" "what a hard life she has gone through".  Yes, and yes to all of those things but she has chosen not to learn and grow in positive ways from each new hardship.  She constantly looks on the negative.  she does not have empathy for others (or at least much) and she will constantly try and best you by having had a worst day or know more than you or in whatever way you can think of.  Look up ODD and you might have the tinniest idea of what we have been dealing with.  However, the arguing once or twice a week (?!) that is a laugh how about once or twice an hour or a half hour or every ten minutes. 

I hope for only the best for her.  I pray that this new family she will be entering has the skills and the knowhow to handle her issues.  I pray that she can learn to love, trust, and be happy! 

Now it is time for us to be happy again!!!
