Update on us
Hi everyone- just thought I'd post an update.
Our girls haven't been placed wiht us yet- the b.mom opposed the placement change, so we have to wait until the next courtdate- later in may. If that goes through, S(4yo) will be place May 25,and N(9yo) on June 11th.
We've had the girls (4 and 9) every weekend for the past 4 weeks. The 4yo has been on extended visits - 5 days at a time,then she goes back to her grandma's house wed,and thurs, has visit with birhtmom fridays and we pick her friday evening.
She is a little doll, but very spunky and energetic.She has lots of "behavior" issues that will probably respond fine to some training and structure .
My 7yo bio dd is having a very hard time adjusting -she's very jealous when S wants to use her toys,etc. and also gets upset when S doesn't mind us.
9yo-N is a very nice girl, although rather shy and reserved, it will defiinitely take some effort on our part to bond with her -she really tries to keep her distance emotionally. She does get along great with 7yo, so that is a huge blessing!
All our other bio kids are adjusting very well, but I really think my son (only boy out of 6), is hoping we adopt another boy someday!
