We adopted our beautiful boy when he was 9 months old. He is now 7 years old! We have been through some rough times, some normal parenting rough times, and some adoption parenting rough times.
I feel honored to have experienced this, and even more honored to have our wonderful son.
I think not enough is done to prepare parents for adoption, and the problems they are likely to face.
I want to write this journal, gradually, as a record of our son's journey, and ours.
I hope that this will be useful for him when he is older, and maybe useful to others who are going through, or about to embark on this wonderful adventure!
More soon...
