Your thoughtful realistic approach will be so helpful to all of you as the time goes by. I liken our adoption to a "marriage" - we all had to get to know each other and come to love each other - it isn't a love at first sight sort of thing. Lots of grieving, joy, surprises and learning along the way. I am wishing you love and laughter in your journey as a family.
