Hi Board,

Gosh, after reading the  threads on the different activites that parents are having their children in, I am feeling a little silly.   Our newly adopted daughter Katya ~ SWCAH ~ has just turned 5 years old.  

The thought of working full time and me not being there with her at all times terrifies me.   I do not have any family in Washington State with me, so I cannot just leave her with my mom or other relative.  

I have personally seen Katya go into a crisis twice now since she has been home with us and if we weren't there exactly when the crisises happened, I don't even want to imagine what could have happened.   And then I am supposed to feel comfortable being away from her all day long?

We really do need to supplement my husband's income, but I cannot see how I am going to be able to.

Then the thought of full-time school in two years sends me down another path of fear...   What will happen if she gets hurt on the playground???

Am I being ridiculously overprotective here?   I am just wanting to keep our little Kati safe...

Your insight would be MOST welcomed!

Thanks,

Lynda B.
