How do you explain chronic illness and adoption to a child?
I have Fibromyalgia and my wife has CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) We've both been suffering for a long time. We have a 5 year old child together whom we love very much, however because of our illness and her behavioral problems we will be giving her up for adoption this March.
What's the best way to go about explaining to her why this is happening?
Are their any easy ways to explain these diseases to a child so they understand?
It's very stressful. Thanks for your help.

Comments on How do you explain chronic illness and adoption to a child?
i find it strange that someone with fms would tell someone else that they shoudl be able to take cae of a child despite the fms
i have fms–i can't take care of a child–i had hoped to adopt a sibling group–but i can't even take care of myslef ……..
anyone who really has fms understands that it is a spectrum–from being able to work and raise children (like i used to be able to do when i first had symtoms–to being bed ridden)
you don't say you chose to have a child after becomiing so sick–you may have not been sick when you became parnets or honetsly thought you could do it.
who ever is handling the adoption should be helping with the transistion…its their job to know how to do it
