Waiting is the hardest part...

I can't handle all this waiting but I know I have no choice. I just want to get this process underway so we can bring our child home. The coordinator/licensor isn't in the office again until tomorrow so I have no choice but wait. Hopefully we will not actually have to go to the informational session but can sign right up for the next session of classes. Especially since we know this is what we want to do and an information session isn't going to change that for us. I plan on talking to my friend today about her experience with the process and the issues that she faces raising her two F/A children. I believe she adopted them when they were both babies so I would like to hear about the bonding, etc. that comes with that. My biggest fear, I guess, would be that by adopting a preschooler we may never have that tight bond that I so want. I want this child to know that they are loved, safe and will be cared for forever in our family. I know they say that sometimes if children do not have a chance to bond with their parents at birth it can lead to emotional dettachment as they grow older...I wonder if you can ever get that back or something close to that? So many questions...
