You’ve raised your children to adulthood.
But you’ve always wanted to help that one “surrendered/orphaned”.
You lose your mind and decide to adopt a needy child.
The adoption agency approves you.
You meet the child, and just like the interviews you’ve done
of employees in your company, the first meet is perfect.
The child is then brought to your home to meet the family and
again, all seems to go well enough.
The foster parents drop off a few personal belongings
and away they go.
You observe this male child’s interactions with the family members. At first he’s looking for the foster mother that just left. Then, a little timid around the new family. He appears to know he’s stuck here – even if only for the time being – so he’ll research his surroundings. He covers the area several times where he thinks will be “his”.
It doesn’t take long for this orphan to reveal himself.
He doesn’t speak the language - therefore, he doesn’t understand.
He’s very good looking, and I can only assume he was shown much affection but very little discipline, for he is lacking in the manners department.
Since he’s been placed from foster home to foster home, his only defense has been to become strong to protect himself and has become pushy, sometimes a bully. And there have been no strong leaders in his life to correct this.
