Alison - Just wanted to say "YESYESYES!!" There was quite a while I could not understand why everyone said things like "She/He has been a joy since the day we got her/him. We are so happy and so lucky....." when my experience was so different! It has been hard, but rewarding. We are still at "hard" but I am hopeful that things will be better.


As for the original discussion, our agency did not really prepare us and our homestudy agency - well let's not go there. I did do a LOT of research and reading on my own, but as many have said here it doesn't completely prepare you for the real thing. And honestly, our daughter is not having very bad issues. I'd call them average PI child issues.
