I empathize. More than half of my siblings are adopted. There were two siblings we adopted when they were in the early double-digits. They were part of our family for over a year when the biological father changed his mind and sued for custody. While it wasn't a betrayal of trust, it certainly upset our family. I agree with you that it was better to find this out before the legal process was finalized. You're an admirable woman for working so hard not only for your own kids but for another person's child.
vw, I'm sorry you're in so much pain and hope it lets up soon.
I imagine it's narrow through the shoulders and flares out at the hem.

Oh, and fyi, this is a TERRIBLE thing to do.
ETA, funny, but mean
MG, I haven't been around much in the last few days, and you've gotten a lot of good advice and sympathy already -- but I just want to note that you're a damned hero. Seriously.
The C situation is awful, and I wish to hell it could've worked out differently for everyone. But even in the end, the fact remains that you've been willing to go much farther than a lot of people would to make things right for all these kids, your own as well as others'. C isn't in a position to understand or appreciate it now, but at some point in the future, I hope she'll count you as one of the people who made a difference for her, if only for a while.
Oh, and fyi, this is a TERRIBLE thing to do.
This is so much worse: [link]
Oh, and fyi, this is a TERRIBLE thing to do.
This, OTOH, is fantastic: [link]
But the dog doesn't look quite as ... terrified? humiliated? waiting for the pointing and laughing to start?
billytea! the Washington Post travel section was all about trips, tours, etc., to see various kinds of wildlife. Tortoises on the beach in Mexico! Penguins! Bears!
