Adoption

Preparing for parenthood via adoption

Read this article today about preparing to parent via adoption.  This is something I've struggled with, especially with respect to let myself "get my hopes up" and experience the joys that pregnant women feel.  Thought I'd share:

Re: Preparing for parenthood via adoption

  • I didn't look at the link yet, but I wanted to suggest you read Adopting After Infertility - it talks a lot about these sorts of issues in the first part of the book, and I thought it was really thought-provoking.  I also blogged a review of it recently - the link is in my sig if you're interested. :)
