Firstly let me say I know adoption is right for us and the LO we are matched with is amazing. However, over the last few days of week one we have been frustrated as the FC has certain rules and a routine. We observed these and feel we are keeping them. Then we will be told that she would do it differently or that we shouldn't have done a certain activity. It's all very contradictory and we feel we are on tenterhooks. We also feel awkward being in their home constantly. We were to be left alone for a full day which just never happened. The LO can be very spoiled and Bratty at times but never seems to have these behaviours explained just told to be nice or distracted to move on.
I guess I'm wondering if anyone else felt conflicted on intros? We are starting to look forward to the end of the day, which isn't fair on the LO as we already feel connected. We feel like one week is enough as there is no room for LO to connect further whiles FC are around. Because we are miles from home we don't get the week intro at our place. Our SW says it will have to be bared with. We can't address it as we still have a week here. Please tell me we aren't alone and should be okay!
