I thought as an adoptive parent I was as prepared as I could be. Reading books, article, belonging to 15 Yahoo groups where you learn from others , etc. I mean I really tried to be aware of how to support my children and their issues. But no where was there ever any mention, in the 12 years I have been reading about adoption, was it mentioned the severity of the reaction of hormones on their adoption issues.
Yes, now there is a great Group that deals with those issues, but before, no.
SO I was completely and utterly blindsided when it all happened, not with one of the girls, but all five in different intensities and seriousness.
I will go into detail tomorrow, its bed time and I've been sick for over a week now, and I need my sleep becaue there are two others now sick in the family...figures doesn't it?

We started to adopt a 13 year old from China.While doing our paperwork, an urgent appeal went out saying if noone adopted a deaf 13.5 year old girl by Feb. she would never be adopted.Her future would be bleak,possibly on the streets. We chose to adopt both girls.We are home now & have both girls. This decision has been difficult on us financially.We are hoping to recover in a year or so.
