Beaten Path

  I'm trying not to get discouraged but I've been down this path before.  Adopting kids from hard places means that they sometimes bring the bangs and bruises from those places with them.  And you can't see the hurts - just the outward anger and sadness that they cause.  Most of the kids let you love them and they heal little by little.  
  But not all.  And here I am again feeling hopeless and tired.  Maybe this time when I look down the path there will be a glimpse of sunlight.  Maybe this time we won't get lost in the woods.
