HI, I am new also. We had a birth child ( age 8) and recently welcomed a sibling group of 3 into our home, 6,8,and 9, through foster care in Texas- we live in Ohio. We get to finalize next month. I can't wait! I only know one other couple that has adopted older kids from the foster care system. I feel alone a lot in some of the issues we deal with because people do not always understand. It is hard to explain to people. They think all you have to do is love and we are so wonderful and our kids are sooo lucky. Those statements are said because they do not get it! Anyway I am looking for a friend on here that can understand. Nice to meet you! |
