Had a panic moment today... anyone ever..

Junebride007

So lets be honest the fostering/ adoption process can be overwhelming at times. SO MUCH PAPERWORK. I had a bad day at work today and on the ride home I kept thinking.. If I am overwhelmed now. how is life going to be going home to a child or children? But then I kept thinking about how Moms do this all the time and there is no such thing as supermom (lol). I also kept thinking about how much joy kids bring too. Has anyone else ever had this panic feeling? Is it normal?

Yes and yes

The paperwork wasn't too big a deal. I had a panic moment when I finished mat leave and stayed home. All of a sudden I was going to have to entertain a little person all day,. By myself. Eeek! But it worked out fine

I have had those panic moments too.  I am not a mom yet, but waiting.  I am hoping and thinking that we will just make it work.  There may be bad days, but the good days will make up for it!

I have panick attacks several evenings a week when I look at how jam packed my schedule is for the next day. foster care visits/appointments are no joke, on top of regular life and my own kids' schedules.

I think it's wise to recognize it will be more overwhelming when the kids come...BUT you only know where you are at in life, so don't worry too much about it : Kwim?
