Anyone see Dr. Phil today?

The couple who adopted the little boy and admitted they don't really love him yet? It broke my heart, but I'm alot less judgmental now than I would have been. Now I've actually adopted a troubled older child myself, and I understand more where they're coming from.

Anyone care to discuss their opinions? Am I the only amitymama who saw it?

I didn't see it either but I did read some comments they said on the website and it made me sad. I think the things they tell him are awful. I CAN understand it happening though. Having done foster care has made me realize that you truly do NOT know what you would do unless you ARE in someone else's shoes. I'ts an eye-opening experience and I am trying to apply that to all areas of my life right now.

Hey there!

I've been doing really well. Today was a hard day though for some reason.
