Whispering Hope

The life and times of my daughter, Stephanie Hope. Stephanie came to us in May of 2005 and her adoption was finalized in October of 2006. She is 16 years old and struggles with Bipolar Disorder, Major Depression, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stess Disorder as a result of a lifetime of abuse and neglect.

Home, Where My Thoughts Escaping

Stephanie came home on Wednesday. Things seem to be going wel so far, but I no longer trust my feelings in this situation. She was receptive to the letter and seemed upset over my saying she was cold-hearted and manipulative, but again, I don't trust my intuition with her anymore.
