Hi all, I am new to this site this is my first day so wanted to say hi. I am just about to start the homestudy which although I am nervous about I think the effort will be worth the rewards. I am hoping you nice people might tell me about your success stories. All I have read on other sites some horrific stories of the problems these children come with. I'm not niaive I realise adopted children face a lot of issues attachment and otherwise but it would be lovely to hear some positive post about children that have little or no issues. :)

I am one of those experiencing tough/challenging behaviour, even DS shows a bit of this and he came from as normal a start as possible.

All/most adopted children probably will, after all they are traumatised with grief, loss, seperation, neglect etc BUT and this is the most important bit, despite all the ups and downs I would still call both my adoptions positive stories, the fact that we did it twice is testament to this!!! I love both my kids with all my heart, you just learn and adapt.

Good luck and down get too down about it.
