| Read, Study, Talk to Others who have adopted and Read some more.... I am not an expert on Adoption, but I am an experienced Wife of 19 yrs and the Mom of 3 daughters (18,16 & 9), whom through Expected and Unexpected Losses and many Life Lessons have learned quite a bit, I believe. And now as my husband, our children and I enter into this quest and adventure called Adoption, we will all hopefully be able to utilize our Life Lessons and Experiences into weaving an eclectic and blended family... therefore creating an even stronger than ever Family unit. Blessings and Peace, ~Luna-Star Xylia |
