For adoptive parents, the words
adoption
and
anticipation
are practically synonymous. You've started the process and you're on your way to realizing your dream of a family. Your mind and heart skip to visions of the end result: The welcome home, the complete family, the normalcy of parenting - play dates, birthday parties, and school. Whether you've traveled along the road of fertility challenges, are a relative caregiver who was called upon to care for a child in your family, are envisioning completing your family with an infant,
are hoping to adopt a child from another country, or are adopting from foster care, there are so many variables that come into play which can potentiallyderail your envisioned adoption timeline.
