 You know, I still don't understand. How could we have been so mistaken? I've been racking my brain trying to comprehend it, too. I suppose I was so concerned about the paperwork going through, it never occurred to me that Buck wouldn't want us to adopt him. It is puzzling in the least. It feels like our family is disintegrating. Even though we were never officially a family, I suppose. Could it be that he simply prefers to be on his own?
