Karen,
I tend to over-analyze things so this describes me well. I do think that I wouldn't be such a worry wort if the children were not adopted. I personally think that as adoptive parents we are always on the look out for a problem (because all the books tell us we should be
). Once in a while I have to take a deep breath and tell myself to just relax. My new mantra is "I'm doing all I can for them, so give it up and try and live in the moment and enjoy this time." Because before we know it they'll be teen agers and we will have worried this precious time away. Give up the worrying!
Easier to say than to do, I know!
