Hi all,
It's my first time posting here, so apologies in advance if my terminology is up to speed! I am an approved adopter who has been linked for the first time after a very long wait, so me and my husband are super excited and pleased about that. However, I am a little anxious about some of the details in the baby's PAR - there are some questions surrounding her health, and it's noted that she is developing along the lower end of the range for her age.
I'm torn between a genuine sense of excitement at the prospect of possibly adopting a little one, and even better, a child that hasn't been subjected to neglect or abuse, and a real sense of nervousness at the uncertainty surrounding her health and future development. Is this normal?
Are there any words of wisdom on how to deal with this? Or any resources I can check out?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read!
