Home sweet home...

   When you bring home a child that is a complete stranger, you learn so many things about one another, and you do it QUICKLY! On our 8 hour drive to our home from our sons foster home we discovered, he gets car sick, BAD. This was just the first of our parenting lessons we learned the hard way. We often consider our adoption to have gone "perfectly" but that is not to say that it was without its challenges. Once home we had many sleepless night with our son. Though he was 2, he had been ripped away from the only life & family he had ever know. This being said, we were very lucky in the whole transition process. We used an amazing agency that was able to give us great advice & reassure us that we were doing the right things to help him adjust to his new life! In the last 2 years our son has grown into an amazing little person that still amazes me every single day. I often worry that our next adoption will not got as smoothly as our sons did. Our son is VERY ready for a sibling seeing as he asks every day for a brother or sister. Despite our worries we are excited to add a little girl to our family!
