Our first weekend with our 16 y/o daughter went great. She's a sweetie and very open, honest, and fun. Everyone got along great, and the hardest part was taking her back. She didn't want to go back, and we didn't want her to.
She is scheduled to move in Dec. 19th with 2 more visits between now and then, one for 5 days over Thanksgiving. It is going to be even harder to have her go back after 5 days!!!!
She is truly one in a million. She and I talked about how we're sure we'll have "moments" but how we'll work it out. She's amazing. I am so so so blessed!!
I love that because she's 16 she is able to talk about her feelings, fears, anxieties, joys, etc. I HIGHLY recommend adopting a teenager. It's wonderful!!
And I do know that it won't always be perfect, but my gosh is this girl great. All her workers told us that she is their "favorite" and I see why.
She has a wonderful attitude and like I said, is so incredibly open!! It's amazing!!!!!
Can ya'll tell we're happy.. ??!?
