PLEASE be rest assured she is hugged and loved to overflowing!! This is a crocodile filled learned behavior that she adapted as a survival mechanism to probably receive much needed love and attention, in what we are discovering was a very BUSY and full foster home. It appears in addition to a biological son, there was a deaf boy (a little younger than Faith), and at least 2 infants. The other deaf child, and I believe on of the infants was also in the process of being adopted. We can tell from her hoarding behavior that she was definitely not alone in this home. We are grateful for this kind man for lavishing his love on her, because of him she knows how to love. Our job is just to assure its channeled properly for her own well-being, and that of our entire family. Seeing her transformation when we started to implement this one small change, was amazing!! She was calmer, warmer and more loving - less clingy and afraid. Lastly, as you know by now, all our actions are covered in prayer, and under the invoked guise of the mighty Holy Spirit!! HIs Grace is sufficient, and his POWER made perfect in my (our) weakness!Kevin and Allisonnoreply@blogger.com
