So true silverqueenbee,
You do have thoughts that come and go in waves. This is very similar to grief. When my husband sied our counselors expalined to us that grief in children is so different from adults. They can be upset one minute and then off playing like nothing happened the next. They move in and out of grief. Same thing I remember about being adopted, I would be in thought one minute and then off and not thin =k about it forever.
Bonnie, your son is still young, it probably isn't in his mind as much as it is yours, it's his only way of life that he has known. I think you are doing a great job. It shows that you are so concerned and want him to adjust well. Seeking out advice from other adoptess is very caring and loving of you, you are willing to admit there are issues there. Most adoptive parents just want ot breeze over them and thing that their child's life is no different than had they been biologically theirs. I commned you for wanting to do everything possible for your son to embrace his adoption and help him with any questions he may have.
