I can not stand in judgement on this woman's actions, although it saddens me

greatly. I must tell you, however, that I spend 40 hours a week dealing with

people who can not see beyond their own wants and needs. It is not uncommon for

us to recieve women well into their 3rd trimester, who have used heroin, cocaine

or alcohol their entire pregnancy. Again, I can not say they have contempt for

their children, but they certainly seem to have indifference. Until you come

the understanding that once you have a child it is no longer about you, but

about them, then you will have these types of problems. Once you understand

that no matter how rough your life is, it is immeasurably better because you

have that blessed gift with you, nearly anything is possible to endure.

I told my daughter's caseworker some time back, " I am sorry there are autistic

children, but I am forever greatful for having one to take care of. "

Because I have her, even the unbearable is conquerable. Because I have her,

life is truly worth living.

oh god no.

my baby is my life. i never known such happiness to have her in my life to

be her mom is the very best thing i can be. there's nothing more in this life i

enjoy more than being mine dolphin's mommy.

and there's such care here too on this list and others. loving mommys. i

still have no understanding how she could have done such a thing or why there

weren't signs that people could tell and take katie away from danger. i wish

they could have before what happened happened. being killed by her own mommy. i

hate to think that. what she thought before she died. that her own mommy was

hurting her.

people have tried to take the dolphin from me in days that i get confused or

disorganied or act strange. and i always try to look as normal as possible so

people think i'm capable. no matter what though it's always a threat people

checking making sure i don't forget anything, checking to see if i really can

care for the dolphin. i always have to proove i'm able too. i get sad

because i wish katie could have been taken away from danger maybe the people who

harrassed me in mine strangeness could have done something anything. i don't

know. i want to adopt an autistic child but they won't let me. children need to

be in a stable home and i'm told i not. too much history in mental hospitals

as growing up i've been in and out of mental hospitals.

i am a dog groomer now and have an income and i have a clean home and

there's always food in the fridge. i can't cook but i microwave real good and

i've

got an aide as well but if i want to adopt i can't need an aide.

That makes me sad. So many kids need homes, and you're

clearly a loving mother. Not all happy families are

alike. People with disabilities should be allowed to

adopt, just like people without. And it sounds like

your daughter does wonderfully.

*sigh*

In truth, I do not think we lived. I think we existed. Life without purpose is

not life. We have been entrusted with the most delicate, dependent creatures in

God's creation. In spite of everything else in my world, I find purpose in my

beautiful little girl's life.

Thank you
