MDJunction to me

ITeach91"MD Junction has been a lifeline to me. The support and information I receive from group members is so important for me to maintain a good quality of life. I struggled with a diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency and did not know where to turn, but then I found MD and it has been one of the most important tools to help me to enjoy my life and stay as healthy as possible. We really are stronger together than we could ever be alone." (ITeach91)

Thank you, we have had him since he was two days old, it took 3.5 years and a awesome lawyer who took it as a personal challange and stoped charging us after a year.(total would have been over 10,000) My bipolar and cutting for sure made the proccess longer but he fought for me and my wife, Its so sureal that hes ours now now one can come and take him, It one of my biggest challanges and i passed its a amazing feeling. the worst was in court being questioned about my past and bipolar for over 3 hours the judge just kep asking questions and i thougt it was done after that but i was wrong. Gonna have a bug family party this weekend to celebrate and offically welcome to the family.
