Adopting Older Children
I would like to locate a family in the Sacramento/ Auburn California area that has or is adopting children thru the Foster Care system. We are new to Auburn and are in the process of adopting a sibling set. M is 8 years old and she is in 2nd grade. J is 4, nearly 5 and is a boy. We have two bio children 18, 16 and a 3 year old African American daughter we adopted in Orange County. She came to us at 11 months old and we just finished the adoption in May 2004.
I am looking for advice and support on bonding with these children and creating a new family out of a broken one. Any advice? I am nervous and want to be the best Mom ever.
