It really seems that the adoptive world is a community all to it's own - populated by folks that would crawl on broken glass to help out another member...it's cool like that!<br /><br />In that same vein - You might want to mention to Tommy and the other sibs an experience we've had with all three of our adopteds - there will be occasions when something (an experience, movie, smell, almost anything) might 'trigger' a response from Luke that is almost like a PTSD 'flashback' thing. Just love him, support him, and know that while he's having this memory he's really "just not there" right now - but will be back soon! Our daughters will all still have like emotional 'melt downs' for reasons we don't always 'get' - but they pass and become less frequent over time.<br /><br />So happy for you guys - happy birthday's - and y'all are a cool family!<br /><br />hugs - aus and co.Aushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740211277947404999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1733220410724914191.post-56321582819708047032011-06-02T21:25:33.399-07:002011-06-02T21:25:33.399-07:00I am glad to hear that things are going better wit...I am glad to hear that things are going better with Luke, some of it I am sure was him just testing things and trying to find his bearings. That is what I am told with my daughter. If it ever gets warm here, it would be nice to have a pool.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16013728619714651838noreply@blogger.com
