Older Child Adoption: Anyone experience sleep problems?
We have only been home 5 weeks from adopting our 11 yr old DD. We are struggling with sleep issues, (I know it has not been that long!). It seems she does not know how to sleep through the night. She is constantly waking up through the night and playing musical beds with our biological children and the living room couch. She is exhausted in the morning and has a hard time waking up. I know her foster home had several people living together adults - grandchildren and in a small space. This lack of sleep cannot be healthy. Our bio children are growing weary of losing their sleep also. Anyone else experience something similar and have any suggestions?
