Help with Letter to Family- older child adoption
We are finally beginning to see the light at the end of a very long tunnel. We believe we may get to complete our adoption in the next few months. (have been waiting 19 months so far).
I have seen many ideas on the board about letters to family members explaining the bonding process and how things are going to be once they get home with their babies. We are adopting an older child and I would like to educate our family on things they can do (or not do) that will help with our child's transition and bonding with with immediate and extended family. I would also like to include some things that will help us, the parents. So those of you who have adopted an older child......what are some things you wish you had explained to your family or information that would have better prepared everyone.
I have done a lot of reading on this subject, but nothing is as good as the first hand advice of those you who have brought your children home!
Thanks!
