We just adopted a 15 year old girl this past summer as well. I am glad we have been able to bring her to a stable life and family. BUT we are not free from standard teenage drama, especially now that she has turned 16. Each day is a blessing and a struggle as we continue to show her guidance and love by being the parents she never had.
