After saying goodbye to my stepdaughter again for longer than I'd like it really helped reading this! We are constantly trying to find the silver linings in life. I love to see how excited my younger kids always are to see their "sissy" when she comes home, it's always so exciting!! We deal with guilt over her being shuffled between homes but there's nothing we can do to change the situation so we try to focus some of the benefits, like her favorites are multiple birthday &amp; christmas celebrations.
