One of the things my co-parents and I decided early on was that we would never put the blame for any of our kids problems on their past or their bio families in a way that absolved us of responsibility.https://twitter.com/espiers/status/1288958476937580552 …

There's no issue a foster or adoptive kid could have that doesn't happen all the time to people with bio children. So we just decided- it's as much our responsibility as it would be with a bio kid. No passing the buck. No washing our hands. It's a philosophy that serves us well.

It's very hard to have a child who is going through a difficult time. God knows it was for my parents (who didn't exactly win the child lottery with me). Foster and adoptive parents have a tendency to give themselves an out when times get really hard, and we reject that.
