Comments on: Emotional? Hello!!! https://stephaniekarpwrites.com/2010/02/emotional-hello/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=emotional-hello Adoption changed my life. I write about this and so much more. Fri, 20 Nov 2020 17:02:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 By: Julian and Sara https://stephaniekarpwrites.com/2010/02/emotional-hello/#comment-157 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:42:18 +0000 http://box2369.temp.domains/~tephaoz1/?p=195#comment-157 I think that you capture all of the inner turmoils and angst that one feels in the process. After years of making sure all forms are filled in correctly (and duly notarized), letting go of all control over everything in your life, you are "handed" your child as the ship of "overseers" sails away leaving you all alone with your new child – and you are essentially right at the beginning of it all, even though it seems you have been preparing for that for years. It is a very strange time in one's life.

It brings back all those feelings I had just a few short weeks ago. There were so many "nesting" feelings, but mostly just anxious feeling, like "let's hurry up and get him home!". I commend you because you are so mentally prepared for Major's arrival, I have no doubt he will have a great transition into his forever family!!

I also want to say that from our experience bringing home 2 year old Valeria, she was curious and taking it all in, in a positive way. I never saw any sign of grieving either. I think at that age, they live in the "now," which is a blessing. Best wishes for safe travels – and he will remember you!!!
