an addendum ...

First of all, I should maybe say again that I love and respect angelofthenorth for being a survivor, for taking a stance, and for standing her ground.

This is her reply to my "nervous breakdown" entry, in which she defends her position very well. (Yes, Angel, much of that entry was bollocks, but then I was sobbing when I wrote it. I should probably not post in such an emotional mood again!)

It is indeed sad to see kids "written off" because they are too old to be adopted, and it must be doubly sad for somebody like her, who's been actively involved in caring for those kids, to see somebody who might be a potential fosterer cry off.
