Great drop! Congrats. 💪💪 

Thanks, been tricky with work and my adopted/foster son/some kid we found 8 years ago being around alot. Hard to get him outside sometimes, and I snack alot on weekends cause he is growing, so we share alot. 

Proof to never attempt to know what someone else is going through. You are doing so much good in your life and for the life of your foster/adopted son. It's hard but, I know you will see the reward one day. In the meantime, don't lose sight of yourself and continue to focus on 'you' and your health as well. Your FS friends are here for you, anytime you need us. 👏💪👏 

My step father was always Dad, and remains as such to this day. This little guy is something else, the son of two substance addicted people, very insane story, but he lived with us for the first 8 months of his life, and since then, on and off, but pretty consistently. He has FAS and is struggling in school, but we keep chipping away. Currently I am learning how to play Pokémon as he now enjoys the cards, we have already amassed quite the collection. 

Nice work. On all accounts. My father was not one, or around, so I know the value of what you are providing for the young fella. 💥 

Way to go!! 

Wow…that is a wonderful story. What an incredible thing you are doing for this little guy. After teaching for 27 years, working with very high needs kids, the one big take away I can share is that all kids need to feel loved and not abandoned. You, like me, have been raised by a stepdad…really dad! Great men, who never give up, are so incredibly valuable to little ones. FAS causes lots of behaviour issues but consistency and unconditional love will prevail. Thank you for loving this little guy and for showing him there are great people in the world. 

Well done! 🎉
