I know that your adoption is open and that you see punkin - but, I also know that doesn't take away all the pain.<br /> <br /> Living with your illness sounds like such a challenge - and I can see why you felt parenting with your illness would have been a risky proposition. <br /> <br /> Hope you are better soon. <br /> I’m so sorry Maja, my heart too goes out to you.

Living with your illness sounds like such a challenge – and I can see why you felt parenting with your illness would have been a risky proposition.

Hope you are better soon.

I watch my own daughter suffer from bi polar disorder and my heart breaks. She loves children so much and they seem to love her too. But I fear for her to have children of her own.<br /> <br /> See your doctor sweetie and get a med review. That may help with the low moments in life. Thank you for being brave and telling your story.<br /> <br /> Does the adopted parents ever send you pictures and up dates on how punkin is doing? Or was it a closed adoption?<br /> <br /> My heart goes out to you and Danny. Take care of yourself.<br /> <br /> Hugs,<br /> Shar Maja,

Sweet lady I for one am very proud of you for not letting the bipolar cloud your life enough to keep punkin.

I know you love him and you did what was best for him. I watch my own daughter suffer from bi polar disorder and my heart breaks. She loves children so much and they seem to love her too. But I fear for her to have children of her own.

See your doctor sweetie and get a med review. That may help with the low moments in life. Thank you for being brave and telling your story.

Does the adopted parents ever send you pictures and up dates on how punkin is doing? Or was it a closed adoption?

My heart goes out to you and Danny. Take care of yourself.

Hugs,
Shar
