Hi Lou!

Thought I'd chime in! I had two girls come home within 3 weeks of one another. It has been challenging, but mostly with the DD from Guatemala rather than FD. They are 6 and 2 respectively. Things will get better with time. Your post made me reflect a bit on where we were back in Dec., Jan. and Feb. and we've come a long way.

I know your heart is in the right place and you're doing exactly what you're supposed to. Just keep praying for strength, patience and wisdom. The girls are reacting very normally. My best advice is give yourself a break from it all whenever you can. If you have family that can step in for you for even a couple of hours---take advantage of it.
