New to adoption
Hi,
I'm hoping to get some insight from blended families. We have a bio son age 4 and are just starting the adoption process for a girl from Korea.
If you are/were in a similar situation, how/when did you introduce the older sibling to the idea of being an older sibling? We're planning to use an escort mainly for the reason of introducing our older child to his sister in a way that does not involved mom/dad or both leaving and for a long time and coming back with a new child. But how did you handle the travel etc?
For those who have adopted, how have you addressed the different race questions etc. Honestly, I'm so excited to have a multi-ethnic family but I'm also very nervous about the journey. Is that normal?
Did any of you learn Korean? I want to teach our daughter her native language (even if it sounds non-native) b/c I believe it's crucial. Plus, we plan to go to Korea when our kids are older and I definitely want to be able to be comfortable in conversations. What method did you use to learn the language?
Sorry so many questions. Thanks!
