The time between being matched and TPR is the worst! A rollercoaster ride that will have you feeling great one second, and doubting it all the next!

The 'what ifs" will make you crazy if you let them! My best advise is to just try and keep busy and attempt to think about ANYTHING else for at least 25 minutes each day! This is a great place to go, because we have all either been in your shoes, or hope to be - and are a lot more understanding then people IRL!

I would also suggest reaching out to your community to find other adoptive families that can be a support network for you now, and when you get home. Have you tried here on the local boards? Maybe through your agency? I was lucky enough to find a friend through here that lives a few blocks away, and having her ear to listen and wise words of advice after adopting twice has been invaluable!

Best of luck
