Read this great article "Adoption From the Inside Out" , it is good counsel...
It really prompts prospective adoptive families to have an honest self-evaluation as part of the adoption journey...
- Is adoption more about me or the child I will welcome into the family?
- What issues or challenges do I expect to encounter as I parent my children? How will I deal with those?
- How will I respond if things do not turn out as I have planned after I bring my child home?
- How will those around me, such as friends and family, react if things do not go as planned?
