Comments on: One Mother’s Courageous Choice http://www.mommywords.com/2010/05/one-mothers-courageous-choice/ Writing my way through everything. Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:36:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Maria's Random Rants http://www.mommywords.com/2010/05/one-mothers-courageous-choice/comment-page-1/#comment-12164 Maria's Random Rants Mon, 10 Jan 2011 08:51:53 +0000 http://www.mommywords.com/?p=1788#comment-12164 This post was bittersweet and reminds me that there is a fine line between the right decision and a wrong one and sometimes even the right ones hurt like hell. My sister is mentally ill, her ex a drug addict - we took a different route. After 5 yrs of my niece being in our care via foster care, we adopted her and to this day I feel like no one understands how hard it was to make that decision, and to live with the repercussions of it, good and bad. It's been 2 yrs since and we're making it work because that's what we do, but it is never easy. More power to your family, your sister, and your niece and nephew. I'll root for them, too.
