Brett, This is a very interesting and well written chapter you have penned. You used very good descriptive words that told it like it was with children waiting to be adopted. It is very sad that more people don't adopt. I am so glad to see you back on here writing and out of danger of the hurricane. Blessings, Teri

Comment from royowen
Yes, and because I adore my children/grandchildren, I realise that having kids is normal, I was engaged to a woman who had 4 kids, but i was too young, too selfish, to follow through, and have regretted it ever since, but now, I had a mild case of rejection as a child, but no child should be rejected, they'll have to deal with it all their lives. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

Most welcome
Comment from Ulla
Brett, this chapter says it all. Yes, I was lucky, I 'only' spend two and half years in the orphanage before I was adopted. But believe you me those early years defined who I am. I know you can identify with that. I can't wait to reading on. Ulla:)))

Comment from country ranch writer
So many y are unadoptable as they age. Many are turned out into the streets or end up runningg away before they turn 18. It sad for humans and animals to end up unwanted by anyone! Sad but true.it sucks to be orphaned and put in a home- that call an orphanage.

Thank you for sharing this addition to your previous posts. You are pointing out the reality of the situation. In my first-grade class I had many students pass through my door who were in the system. The school I taught in was in the poverty area of the city.
For many prospective adopters the disease of older children. their cancer so to speak, was their age. (comma after 'children')
Because they knew that no matter what they did it was never going to be good enough to make anybody love them (omit 'that')

Comment from BethShelby
I look forward to reading you story, and If it listed on my notification along with twenty more, I'm likely to pick it first. As to you information on adoption, I think I understand why people leave those older children and go for the new born. It is the fear of not knowing if you would be able to adjust to already an developed personality. It like picking a mate for life. You have to spend a lot of time with a person to know if you are compatible. A baby's personality isn't formed yet, so you've got a fighting chance to have some influence on making it fit into your lifestyle. If prespective adopting parents could spent a lot of time with the older child, they might find them to be exactly right for the family. I'll bet a child who lives with families first as a foster child stands a better chance of being adopted. I know foster families who desparately want to adopt the child they had with them several months, but the child isn't up for adoption, It hurts to know children who aren't adopted feel so unwanted, but I can understand why they would.

Comment from GWHARGIS
This was really really good. One spag before I forget. The word goggle should have been Google I think. Small thing so it took nothing away from the writing. The comparison of the children to the dogs in the pound, was so astute and made the protagonists plight that more real. You have a gift of letting me see what's in his head. Great continuation.

Comment from Barry Penfold
You raise an issue that many do not want to talk about. It is the same in Australia. Not the numbers,which would be different, but the feelings and ongoing angst of not being wanted. Interesting and heart braking.
