I'm very excited to soon be an auntie to twins.  My sister is adopting and has been matched.  They are awaiting their conference call with the BM to finalize things.  She is due next month.  I want to be as supportive as possible and was just wondering what was most helpful and felt most supportive to you as you were in the final stages of waiting for your children to be born and when you first brought them home.  (I am a mom to 2 boys BTW but have not experienced adoption).

 I appreciate any advice.

 Best of luck to all of you on your journeys.

I'd say treat her just like you wanted to be treated after birth. Make her freezer meals to ease her amount of time spent making meals with new borns, support her and listen when and if she's freaking out about being "ready" for parenthood,or the paperwork going through smoothly,  go over and hang out and watch the babies with her so she can take a shower.. etc...  Congrats to you and your sister !

Like PP said. Treat her just how you would want to be treated after giving birth. My parents have told me about when I was adopted and how thoughtful everyone was with helping them get things for me. They brought them meals and all sorts of things. Congrats!!!
