When we adopted our son at birth, it was a huge life altering thing. I went from working 50 or more hours a week, to being a stay at home mom. We had been trying to have kids for 6 years - so it was a dream come true, but it didn't always feel like it. I cried many times at how terrible a mother I must be since I didn't just feel warm and fuzzy at every moment. It got better. It's a huge adjustment and there are a ton of mixed feelings that go along with it. Like everyone else has said, give yourself some time and cut yourself some slack.
