Hi All,

We recently got our first foster/adopt placement. He's been in our home for about two weeks now. My Bio-daughter is having a hard time accepting the transition from only child to big sister. the fighting, whining and neediness are almost constant around our house. My bio-daughter is 5 and my foster son is 4. I've talked with them both about getting along and sharing and the funny thing is that when they are at school, they do just fine. It's just when they feel like they have to compete for our attention that the problems begin. Does anyone have any handy tips and tricks to help me make my bio-daughter feel less threatened and to make my foster-son more feel secure? We love Cody and hope to adopt him someday but need to make Gabby feel comfortable too. . .
