Parenting out of love or preserving one's reputation, who pays the price?

An adoption battle. A parent's nightmare. Unexpected attorney retainer for actions that must be taken immediately. Monday. Because we're not about "saving face", we're about a boy. I want to tell you so much more. I want to tell you about a culture of adopting kids with special needs when parents have no idea what they're doing. I want to tell you about parents in over their heads, trying to do whats right. Then I want to tell you about the other side. About abandonment. For privacy reasons for all parties involved we can't give any further details.

If you feel so inclined to help, all funds go to a trusted friend, to be paid directly to our attorney.
