Evaluation

We spent 3 hours in our evaluation, it was exhausting. The news was not unexpected, but the duration of therapy seemed a bit longer than I expected, an estimated 2 years. Wow, that was difficult to hear. After thinking I had found the magic 'cure', there was nothing magic about it. I am fully expecting the results to be magic, but the process will take an incredible amount of endurance to do it consistently. I have no doubt that seeing my little darling improve will motivate me beyond what I need. I am the only one fighting for her in an endless sea of people who don't know how to help her. If this doesn't do it, I will find something else that will. I have a little life who is counting on me to do what is best for her. I have one chance to get it right so that she can live her life to her full potential. Valueable time is passing, and I think that is the most stressful part. I don't have time to waste experimenting. This is my precious child, not a science project. I don't know if it's because she's adopted, but people tend to talk about her like she belongs to someone else. There seems to be a bit of compassion lacking when the professionals are talking about her to me. I feel a lot of resentment about that. I feel more strongly about her because she is adopted. Someone entrusted me to raise their child, so my job is more important. I'll never stop fighting for her.
