Ranging from articles about the consequences of child placement to personal experiences from adoptees, fosterees and others having experienced the separation of their orginal family, this group is a safe haven to share information and experiences.
A suicide attempt is often seen as the very depressed person's version of "seeking closure" to a very hopeless and helpless desperate situation. It's the permanant answer to a temporary condition that needs to be recognized sooner (than later) by friends, adults and intimate partners so appropraite assitance can be given to the life that does not have to be lost.

The Larsons had two sons other than Teddy. My new Papa was a big man with a moustache and a kind face. The Larsons were of the upper class in that area. They had a lady that came and washed the clothes on a wash board. Another lady made all of our clothes except for our underwear. Mrs. Larson (Mama) would make all of our underwear.
