Failure to thrive best news I have heard...UPDATED

[Dorothy39]

I just read and re-read your post.

Oh My God, for the first time ever, I have learned that there are really happy endings for neglected children.

Okay, I cried before replying. ,

But, I feel so HAPPY for you and your family!!!!

You have given this child , this person, a voice. And in time, he will thrive--- & grow to be a fine strong man, (and hopefully eat you out of house and home in the process)


Bless You and Your Family!!!!

Kathy coming from you that is a compliment beyond comapare, thank you ans Xan thanks you I am sure. now for all our prayers and hopes to protect such a small person and to make sure his voice is heard LOUD and CLEAR! btw the rescue dobe is his best friend not sure if the dog senses that he needs a protector or that they are both young and love to create mischeif! either way I am happy they bonded.

Alexander has spoken to DCFS here and has another interview tomorrow based on allegations he made in private with the DCFS counselour of molestation by his Birth moms Bf. He will also be admitted this weekend to have some more tests performed on organ functions as some of his labs came back abnormal. I just got off the phone with his pediatrician . The only good news here is that with all of this Illinois states that there is no way that Sharon can retain or regain custody of him. Thanks to all that have pulling for him and I will post pics of him and his fursiblings soon.

you two are "Angel Parents"!!!!!!

I will keep your step son in my thoughts . I so love children, so, your story is so rewarding to read. You are providing this dear lamb of a child a new lease on life. May he be out of harms way forever and ever!!!

Bless You and Your family Dr. Goodnow!!!!!!

I'm trying hard to remember what the Wizard told the Tin Man when he gave him a Heart.

Something like:" Just remember, We are not judged by how much we love, but, how much we are loved, by others!!!!! (Whaaaaaaaaaaa) sniff !!sniff!!!!

I'll look it up

I am so glad, for his sake, that you will be getting him back. No child should have to go through that, but hopefully that dark period of his life is now over, and we pray that there are no lasting effects from it.

And so glad your rescue Dobe loves him extra-special. I bet you're right, Dobe decided he needed a heart-guardian dog.

thank you Kathy ! Karen your reply made me cry the dobe is vWB positive and hypothyroidic he has had an awful start to hear out loud what I felt gave me a chill I truly think Rusty came here so that Alexander had something someone that understood his rejection and pain and could love him the way no one not even his dad and I can. Totally. Completley. No pressure no worry just the sheer joy of each moment. I cant type I am crying too much

[DrKym]

His Mother was contacted today by both states needless to say my phone is burning up I am sorry for venting and crying but I can't let it show in front of my son or my step thank you for letting me post and bearing with me and the husband while we melt down.

Kym, just saw this, sorry. Having spoken to you, I feel like i know you already, and I personally have to say that I can't imagine Alexander being in a more loving, happy, fun, pleasant environment. You are open, honest, sweet and caring. Your son, Adrian, is awesome and I enjoyed talking to him. He's like a little adult. And I agree that Rusty and Goof will help Alexander's transition tremendously. You have my email and phone number. {Hugs} Karen

Here is the correct "classic" quote:

"And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love , but, how much you are loved by others"

Dr. Goodnow, - I just read a reply you posted on another threead...it sounds like the state is trying to take Alex back to give to his mother to prove he's being abused??? Did I read that right? If so...
X**#!!#*!
What kind of insanity is that? I am praying for a miracle that allows Alex to in YOUR home!
(and i'm kind of hoping I misunderstood your rely to Moosmom)
