I would really like to hear from some of you who felt at one point that fostering/adopting was not right for you. We have only reached our 4th day together and I wonder if I am not cut out for this. My dh and I have no children. I know that I am used to having my own space and time and this has a lot to do with how I am feeling. Of course what I am used to changed the minute we brought home our 3 year old FD.
I guess I am just trying to figure out whether what i am feeling is normal. Did any of you feel like giving up that first week with your first placement? How did you work through this and what do you suggest? I chose to keep her with me the first few days so that there would not be too much to get used to right away. on Monday I am putting her in daycare a few hours each day until she is used to going every day. She was in daycare fulltime before we got her. She has already met grandparents who love her and I have a ton of support from friends and family. i am also still very close to her previous foster mom - she is wealth of information.
Is his normal? Or am I supposed to be feeling full of love and joy right now?
