Hi Kelly, I found this site last week and like you and am excited to correspond with other parents with special needs kids. I have two kids at home, 9 year-old daughter Serena and 14 year-old Garrett, both born addicted to Heroin, meth and alcohol. I adopted my kids about 8 years ago and ten years ago if someone had said I would be where I am now I would have called them crazy. Having what I have now I would not trade for anything and meeting people on this site has really been exciting and it has only been a week. I really think contributing to the site is what helps me everyday and I look forward to hearing about how you and your daughter are doing. The great thing here is you can share the bumps in the road both good and challenging and you will have kindred spirits along the way to help you smooth out your journey. This might sound a bit silly but there is a guy out there who will wrap his arms around both of you as you both so well deserve.
Don
