[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ OP it might work out perfectly for you, or it might not. No amount of reading blogs gives you the real story. But if that's what you want to do... I will say that I know people who did and REALLY wish they DIDNT. People will tell you mild stories (or strong stories) but they do not really get the true feeling of it. However, single moms by choice who used donor sperm were extremely happy with the result. But their kids were not older or SN.[/quote] It does happen, and unfortunately sometimes adoptions are disrupted. I hope that won't be the case if I go through with it. I won't give up the moment things are difficult because I know they will be difficult. I do know of one family who adopted two boys from Ethiopia and one had severe RAD. It was not good. Even if they do not have RAD, there will be a bonding/attachment period - it is not automatic (if it does appear automatic - the child probably has attachment issues!) [/quote]
