Instant Family?
Oh my goodness. The roller coaster has started up again! DH and I are trying again at this adoption thing. This time it would be Instant Family ... from 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds!!! Birthmom is supposed to sign TPR tomorrow ... so tomorrow we could be taking custody of a 20 month old little girl AND her 3 month old brother!! We said we were open to a sibling group, but we never thought it would happen. We are extremely excited and nervous and trying frantically to figure out what preparations we need to make, both short term and long term.
Wish us luck this time!!!
p.s. Anyone had any experience with an adoption of a child this age? (The 20 month old, I mean.) She's lived with her birthmom (as far as we know) her whole life and I'm wondering what the grief and loss will look like....
