Oh my goodness!! poor baby,, it just goes to show how the whole familys heart and soul goes into this,, and it also shows how these adopted children affect our lives just as much if not more then bio children sometimes,,, because it just is not as easy to have them come into your lives. You take on more risks, your hearts are out their open and exposed. Bless every one of your hearts. I can not imagine the pain, I would think it would be like not taking one of the children I gave birth to home. And it would be the same for my kids. they would mourn the loss of that sibling. Do not feel bad about the way you handled your 8 year old, why should you have treated this any different. IMO you should not. You were bringing a new child home to your family and it should have been celebrated no differently then you had planned. I am so sorry,, my heart just aches along with your familys. Do not even think of puting that big sister shirt away,, it was just not meant to be yet. But hold onto it,,, along with some prayers and hope for the future,,,,
hugs andi
