  2. I'm sorry I thought you were adopting a six year old. I will read better next time. Heather
  3. Attachment in Adoption is a good book. Also anything by Dan Hughes. Welcome! Are you adopting through Abrazo? Heather
  4. That is true. If they would have gone through the foster care system they would have been warned and educated. I think private adoption agencies need to do a better job of educating would be parents if the child placed with them is older than a newborn. I think it would be nice if they had referrals for services that they needed. I'm greatful that Abrazo does alot of this educating and post adoption support. Heather
  5. Grandparents are great! My husbands parents love our children. When Brayden first came home. They held him 24/7. I asked if they wanted to put him down for a minute? They said "not while we are here". I'm excited for them to see what a cute little boy Brayden has become when we see them at Christmas. Brayden's birthgrandmother is also wonderful at keeping in touch. She has sent the kids three or four huge boxes of loot since we last say her in June during finalization. She has taken in Katelyn and Emelie as her own. It makes us happy to see our children having these connections. Grandparents help us feel safe and connected. Heather
  6. Obviously they were not educated or informed about the risks. But RAD and other issues are very real. There is always a risk in adoption whether international or domestic. Sometimes parents cannot cope or do not have access to the right support. I had heard about this camp in Montana but did not know all the details. The woman who runs it obviously gives children and families hope. Heather
