What the hell do I do with this?
So this happened:
It’s been about six weeks. The initial shock is over, but things still don’t seem quite normal yet. We’re waiting for his real parents to come pick him up any time now.
Going back, say, ten months or so, I kind of assumed that any day it’d sink in and I’d wake up one morning a responsible and respectable member of society, capable of molding a young mind into a net gain to the population. But as I type this, holed up in my bathroom, faking a bowel movement while my wife deals with the screaming--so much screaming--the odds of that happening aren’t looking good.
