Joc,
First of all, congratulations to you and your husband.
Ditto to Regina's suggestion to purchase the Johnston book - its very practical and it will help dispel some of the misconceptions family members may have regarding adoption. We were lucky as our families were very supportive of our decision and our kids but we did have to set a few people straight and this book was helpful.
Unfortunately, when we brought our kids home, my job did not provide family leave. I used vacation time in both instances to spend a few weeks at home with each one and my wife (whose job did provide maternity leave). Even though they were infants, I agree with dadfor2 that its important for dad to bond, too.
Anyhow, just my 2 cents. 2 and 3 yo - its going to be fun...
