I have been visiting Reece's Rainbow for a while now hoping to one day be able to open my arms to a child. I have always felt a calling to adopt, but waiting on God's timing. In the meantime, I am trying to best prepare myself by meeting other families who have already gone through the process. Seeing that you have walked through this 3 times not only brings joy to my heart but also makes you a resourceful person.<br /><br />My desire is to adopt a young child with special needs. I have a 3 year old daughter who loves interacting with other children and like all children has specific needs of her own (dietary, behavioral and emotional). I want to be certain that when I consider adoption I consider her needs as well and how both children will relate/interact with each other. As a therapist and elementary/early childhood educator I have had experience with lots of children and I have decided that a child with Down's Syndrome (or similar attributes such as heart defect, visual/auditory impairment, etc) would be the best match for our family. I would love to learn more about your experience with adoption and special needs.<br /><br />Trusting His amazing grace,<br /><br />KoriKorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952141659878669062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895229878091704878.post-28833309780908558862012-12-08T12:44:23.931-08:002012-12-08T12:44:23.931-08:00Yes, all of our girls were at newborn stage emotio...Yes, all of our girls were at newborn stage emotionally when we met them....we regressed all of them in various ways and I think it's necessary to allow them to go through those stages even if they're much older!

I'm soooo GLAD however, that her mama and daddy were there to comfort her. She looked so worried. I like your idea Sarah of holding her in your lap when you feed her--almost like a newborn but emotionally that is probably just what she needs and your instincts seem to always be spot on! That first photo of Shawn holding her (in this post)--I don't think I've EVER seen him look so sad and serious. It is clear both of you had a rough go of it today! Praying for you all--and your sweet ones at home also. I'm glad "Curlie Girlie's" sweet spirit is sooo resilient and she bounced back later!

Your idea of holding her at mealtime sounds good, but maybe when she gets home she will see and feel all the love you and her sisters have to offer her that she will feel comfortable and safe sitting by herself and enjoy eating.I imagine you are getting ansty awaiting your court date but keep in find once she is yours you can concentrate on your daughter and not the other distractions that you see daily during your visits. We are all praying for you and know you will have the strenght to get through the process.The outcome will be well worth it. CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
