Hi Ashley, WOW! You are doing great. That is so wonderful. Would you do me the favor of taking a few minutes to answer a few questions for me please? Your profile says that you are living in the independent program. Does that mean that you did not want to be adopted? I'm sorry for asking such a personal question, but I really need to understand how you feel. I am asking because I have been wanting to adopt a teenager. Everyone that I talk to tells me that it is a bad idea, and that I am too old to try to do this. Could you tell me if you are living independently because you didn't like any of your foster or adoptive parents? If you didn't like them, could you explain what it was that you didn't like about them? Do you think that their age was a factor? I would really appreciate any input that you could give me on this subject. Thank you very much, with love, Grannie Nonie
