Starting our journey!
My husband and I are starting the process of adopting from foster care through a local adoption agency. We couldn’t be more excited to join families with our future adoptive children! We have decided to focus our attention on older children and sibling sets, as our local agency told us during an introductory training that these groups have the highest need for adoptive families.
If there are any adoptees who read this thread, I would greatly appreciate anything you are willing to share about your experience and what you wish your adoptive parents had known from Day 1.
Adoptive parents - what do you wish you had known from Day 1? Any advice? Words of wisdom? Things to be cautious of? I want to know it all!
My parents and my husband’s parents want to do a family “media club” surrounding adoption, so we can go into this with as much awareness and sensitivity as possible. Do you have any books, podcasts, content creators, etc. that you’d recommend?
