I am glad to have found this thread. Friday we will pick up a 10yr old girl that we will be adopting, we just finished visits. She does not have attachment problems, she actually is fitting in fine with our family other than she is such a tom-boy i have no idea what to do with her. But that is not a real issue I know that we will be fine no biggie i have a son that she has bonded with wonderfully. Its all me!! I'm having these serious panic attacks about bringing her home for good. I keep thinking omg what have we done we cant do this! Its like after giving birth and you say oh never mind put the baby back...LOL She is a great kid!! But I have terribly flipped out! I want it to stop and I want to do this but I have no clue how to make this stop. My parents are concerned about the placement as she is a different race than us and I know that will be a slight factor as we live in a small town and their just worried about the kids as i am also but I have no idea how to move forward. I am crazy or should I listen to my panic??
