Hi there
We had a two week transition period. The children (aged 2 and 3) had a photo album of us and our house before they actually met us and from the first meeting wanted to call us Mammy and Daddy.
We got on very well with their Foster Mother which I think helped a great deal - everyone was at ease with each other which was good for the children. She wrote a detailed list of their daily routine down for us which we followed, and still do to some extent. She also warned us of any behaviour patterns we could expect and how she dealt with them. The children are doing brilliantly, especially the youngest, who was very attached to her Foster Mother and in the beginning would not have a lot to do with me.
