I was talking to a very good support person yesterday for our family- Marcus' former behavioral specialist- over the course of her working with Marcus in kindergarten our relationship became from professional to friends- and I am always seeking her out for guidance-she is a true bleesing.
Anyway- Marcus is having some difficulty at his before and after care (usually just in the AM) so she has offered to help the care facility along with his current behavior specialist as well as Achieve of Tampa Bay.
The point of the blog is I was like do child care facilities have a clue about special needs kids and why are not more educated about behavioral disabilities- you know I am okay with telling people Marcus has needs- really - He is very smart- I believe with my whole heart that one day you will see his name as going into space ( he wants to be an astrounaut) anyway- refocus- So many do not know how to deal with my special child- why- are they afraid to learn and grasp what it takes to raise a child with a special need- there are a variety of special needs children out there from emotional to mental to physical - it is not just one area.
So I was tooling around the web last night and found an incredible sight and this is a local organization- - thank you GOD-they asked for input on adoption- this is great because I would love to talk about adopting special needs children. http://www.fkmad.org/ is the site-
So I can not wait to share it with them- to get the word out how great it is to adopt- I would do again but not as a single parent- (hats off to you that are single and have more then one child- may God bless you tremendously)
**Melissa they have a great sight and may be beneficial to you all as well for resources**

Thanks Michele! It bugs me to as to why people are afraid to learn how to help the special needs kids. I have dealt with that myself this week. Thank God for therapust and friends that do want to help and try to understand! Thanks for the site, going there now!

God is going to use you as a powerful force to speak to people about this. There are incredible testimonies ahead for you and Marcus.
I can't wait to see it unfold!
I love you
