Dad, can you tell me more about the "adoption parties"? Were they very awkward? (Sounds like it from your post.) Where were they held...anywhere near Monroe County? We belong to a Foster and Adoptive Family support group and they have "adult" meetings once a month and then outings with the kids and parents once a month. We've been told that we are welcome to join in the activities, but since we don't have any children it seems like it would be awkward or that we are "shopping" for kids. We just joined a few months ago, so I'm guessing eventually we will go...just wondering what it might be like.
Since you adopted an older child without fostering do you or the boys have much contact with their foster or birth parents? Do they have other siblings? How did you transition them to your home? How long did it take? If you don't mind me asking what are their "special needs"? How long has you one son been in your home. (I hope the legal issues are cleared up quickly for you with the other!)
What was it like when they first came into your home? How long was your "honeymoon" period? How cooperative are the schools? Any advice from a man's perspective for my DH?
Well another long post from me filled with questions, I know what a suprise. I appreciate any feedback. THANKS!
