ember,
Thank you so much for asking that question. I am in the process of adopting our 2 fc and was wondering the same things.
All of you that responded gave me so much valuable information, Thank you!
Christa, I especially thank you for your response. I appreciate you having the courage to speak up from the "child's" point of view.
Jensboys, I loved the way you explained things to your children. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to "steal" your ideas - Thank you.
