Things are coming along pretty nicely. We are experiencing some of the angst that is associated with adopting an older kid. There are challenges, but she is integrating pretty well both with my wife and me and with the dogs--we have three.

We mostly have challenges surrounding bed time, teeth brushing, entitlement issues (she wants things her way ALL the time), all of which end up in tantrums.

That said, we recognize that her expressing anger is important to work through her own issues.

Our case worker has told us that finalisation will be in April and we've chosen three dates that it might happen.

Adopting a 5 year old is an interesting road we've chosen.
