That's absolutely a possibility. But it is also possible that the child was truly misplaced. The fact is, we don't know.
My point is that just as one successful skip doesn't guarantee that every skipped child will be happy and successful, neither does one failed skip--even a true failure and not just an assumption that it wouldn't work!--mean that all kids who come after wanting/needing skips will fail.
I guess I'm just saying that it's a double-edged sword if that sort of trailblazing is the only organized advocacy that we participate in. Those trails don't always lead the way we want them to go.
Granted, I'm not out there fighting the good fight right now, so I'm sort of a hypocrite about this.
But when I am able to do more than just (barely!) keep my head above water, I do intend to do some more advocacy work. I think it's really important.
