@erinadvocates: “don’t force him to hold her,” they said… completely oblivious to the fact that our son was adopted after 11 years of almost zero life experiences and rejects everything and everyone he’s introduced to at first. if we simply “accepted his no” every time he showed discomfort, he’d never do anything at all. he’d never get lifesaving medical care because it’s uncomfortable. he’d never play with a toy because they were new. he’d never go to school because it’s an environment he isn’t used to. he needs repeated exposure to anything new. but over time, he learns he is safe to trust. and that’s when we get to watch him bloom. #disability #adoption #transformation #specialneedsfamily #Siblings

She is not forcing him. She is teaching him that this is a delicate, beautiful little baby sister and she’s helping them create a bond. How do people see oh stop forcing the kid😂😂😂

Thank you for loving him and bringing him to your family after 11 years of nothing. You brought him to his forever family full of love to share with him and then to see that love show on his face. God is Great.
