Tina, I'm glad too hear you are moving in the right direction now. I would only ask that you find Jake a new home real soon. He is at a very critical age in his development and needs to bond with his permanent guardian. It shouldn't be hard to find that cutie pie a home fast.

Stick with counseling in addition to volunteering but be careful you don't fall in love with all of them and want to bring them all home. You have to realize there is only so much you can do.

Keep us posted.
