I am still in the process of this new experience. However, I think that is part of the risks parents take when they adopt waiting children. I have also read lately, that when the adoption is open it is better all around. It helps parents give their children the answers they always want to know and helps them move forward, as well as help the parents not fear the birth parents will come one day and try to take your child away. Perhaps you should read into it. I have also read that sometimes waiting children will test their parents, because they are afraid and hurt that they their parents will terminate their parental rights as their birth parents did. The only thing you can do as a parent is love your child regardless of what he or she might say when hurt, upset or afraid. Treat your child the same way you would treat your biological child when they say things, such as the other posters have said, “Mean Mommy” or “I want to go live with someone else.”
