My favorite family has completed their final adoption.
By reading blogs I was able to follow an adoption from start to finish. The time involved in homestudies and travel is staggering. The family completed most of the adoption process paperwork and security clearances before receiving a referrel for a child. So in layman's term they did a blind adoption. Once receiving their referral they did not share the child's picture or information online. They followed and respected the rules of their child's country.
Once in the child's country they spent as much time as possible with the child. Using each moment getting to know the child and the limitations the child has. They also made a mental checklist of the child's strength and areas to work on. It was more about earning trust and consistency not bribing the child with gifts.
The family is home now and their adventure is only beginning.
