Why?
It is one of the only times of peace and quiet in my house.So this will be short but I thought I would start from the beginning:
Annie was 13 and she had "special needs."
I had a pretty strong suspicion that The Lord was bringing us a child with "special needs" but at the time I was oblivious to what that term meant.
God may have kept that from me so I wouldn't over think it. (I tend to do that.).
They said she was mentally about 8 and that she had anxiety. I thought that sounded like a piece of cake.
I had seen and I knew many charming children with "special needs" and many of those sounded just like that. She was going to be "easy!"
Disclaimer: I do not believe the social worker or the support staff ever intended to mislead me. I believe they did everything in their power to be as honest as possible. I even agreed with them for about 6 months.
Everything was going to change and I was going to find out just how broad of a term "special needs" is!Why do I love haters? Because they demand more. They call out an injustice and fight for what's right. I demand something other than the title "special needs".
