I understand the question. This past year I took temporary custody of my brothers 4 kids for a year. It cost me my career,took me broke and I had to deal with alot of opposition from people who thought they new better then I, but in the end I helped 4 children througe a very difficult time in my own way. I no longer have the children and I know my blessing will come later. I would do it again in a heart beat too. *hugs*  |

If you truly love your significant other, this occurs all the time! LOL! But seriously, yes, my wife and I have obtained custody of our grandaughter since birth and it's not easy starting over especially at this age...jbdoe  |

TX, yes, i've been it that position. But, the children didn't live with me. They were close by though. I did everything I could for them and now, she's taken them away from me. I made the mistake of confronting her on some of her actions. Put simply, I told her to either give up the kids or get off the drugs. Thank goodness the oldest is 9 so he knows how to call me and, he has!! *hugs*  |

This is something that I truely understand. It happens alot in my family, unfortunately. I have often had to swallow my pride when helping out my cousin or my mom, especially...but of all my family, they are the only two who have ever truely accepted me. I do what I do for them, and ignore whatever else may come from the folks that aren't as accepting, but are still part of the situation. It's hard, but I know why I do it, they know why I do it, my husband knows why I do it, and that's all that really matters. Hope I got your point...  |

Tx. I also have been in this situation, when I was with my youngest sons Dad we took in his neice. Her parent's were homeless living in a camoer in the wood's. I wanted her to be in school so I took her in to make sure she would be properly fed and taken care of. It wasn't something I had the money for at the time, but I couldn't turn my back on a child. You know that I think you and LOTI are such wonderful people and you give more then you recieve. I love you my dear freind *hugs*  |

Yea, humility before honor. Story of my life. But, the pleasure that God has brought me, by being willing to humble myself before others, is immeasurable. Pride goeth before a fall, so say the Scriptures. Truly this would apply today, as well. We should seek God's face, humble ourselves, repent, and demand the RIGHT to do what is RIGHT. Free Girl  |

I guess that if you are truly understanding, then there is no question. There is nothing to ponder... |

Oh yes and I have got to do it again real soon. I resolved an issue with my brother about a month before he died and now I thank GOD, I put my pride away to do it. I have another brother I am working on . What is wrong is not something I did but something I will have to make right, yes I know what this question is all about. BUSYBEE  |
