I Feel Defeated

My son is adopted from foster care. He has had a pretty rough life, even in care before coming to our family. We went through hell trying to get him stable and somewhat functional again.Now almost 4 years later we have such an amazing kid. Really. He has the potential to do and be so much, but he still struggles in school. The environment and learning style just doesn't work for him. He has d's and f's because the school doesn't try or doesn't have time because there are 30 other kids who need help. Yet he tests at above average in everything.It's heartbreaking.We found a new school, a private one. We toured it and my sons face just lit up. I've never seen him so happy to talk about school and learning. I want to give this opportunity to him so bad.Then we learned the financial aid won't cover as much as we though. It's a significant amount we have to come up with and more than double what we expected.I'm defeated. I have no idea how or where to get that much money. People make fundraisers for the dumbest things and this isn't dumb, but I feel like a creep begging for money.I just don't know what to do. It's defeating to see a possible answer for my son and not be ale to help him.Ok I guess that's all. I just needed to vent somewhere. My husband is just as stressed about this and he doesn't want to talk when he's stressed. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2ssf7ot
