Child(ren) at home???
As we continue to wait...UGH... we have been talking alot about attachment and ourselves. Today it dawned on me that my 4 year old might have issues all his own (not necessarily attachment) that he will need help overcoming when our new child comes home. I am pretty sure I can handle the 'regular sibling issues' but wondered if there were adoption specific issues that might arise. Has anyone encountered anything I should be or could be working on with DS now?
On the flip side DS is EXTREMLY EXCITED for his brother or sister to come home, though he is convinced it is a boy and so are we. He talks about him like he is here just on vacation from us and prays for him to come home safely every night. I think he is ready too!!
If any of you have any pearls of wisdom you wouldn't mind parting with I will gladly accept them.
Thanks for your support and help...
