Although, kids don't come with a user-manual...adoptive parents definitely go through more 'orientation' than those who become parents through birth. We've been working on finishing some of our training requirements and are finally making good progress. So far, we've attended some face-to-face training through our agency, read some very interesting books and are currently working through the Because They Waited training. So far, its been good. The information is pretty straightforward and they seem to have some very credible points. Of course, nothing is perfect and parenting is by no means a formula. However, its always nice to gain perspective from experts who've walked through similar phases which will be ahead for our family. I've attached an interesting article from the New York Times which demonstrates childhood brain development. Take a look, I think you'll be surprised by what you see : )
In other news...nothing exciting to report. We're looking forward to hearing the October numbers for Bethany's referrals. And, we're coming up on our 3 month mark!
