Not sure what it will be. This came as a very timely reminder for me that something is going to have to give in my life once Guatebaby arrives on the scene. Not sure what it will be.

I don't think anything can prepare you for it. God, I feel tired just thinking about those first few months home from China. Yes! I don’t think anything can prepare you for it.

Someone talked about attachment and issues and control and didn't get slammed. What a great post--I am always the adoption wet blanket when I bring up anything "Negative" so I am really glad that is being well received. Wow!

I don't go to that site often as we are no longer waiting. We actually feel very lucky about the way things went for us. We adopted a little boy with a limb difference who was 33 months old when we received him. We have two older (16 & 18) bio sons, so this is sort of the second time around and that helps, but it's also a whole new experience. I really have no complaints about how things are going, but there are challenges, and it's difficult to discuss them with people who don't "understand" what it means to adopt: an older child, internationally, trans-racially, etc. There is more to it.
