From Another Mother: Our Story of Adoption: Kid behavior or foster care behavior?
http://fromanothermotheradoptionstory.blogspot.com/2013/02/kid-behavior-or-foster-care-behavior.html
From Another Mother: Our Story of Adoption. Thursday, February 21, 2013. Kid behavior or foster care behavior? 2 months ago, we brought home our little men. Both of us were (and still are) new parents, gifted with two walking, talking battles of energy. Now I have been working with children for a long time, have an MSW, been a therapist. But nothing could really prepare us. D and I have started asking ourselves, "is this normal kid behavior? Or are we seeing foster child adoption behavior? Last week, we ...

From Another Mother: Our Story of Adoption: January 2013
http://fromanothermotheradoptionstory.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
From Another Mother: Our Story of Adoption. Tuesday, January 29, 2013. On one hand I am thankful for her for giving us our boys. She brought them into the world and gave them some qualities we love about them. She never physically harmed them, she just wasn't able to get her own life together. I also find myself being overprotective when other people talk negatively about her. I certainly don't think she is a bad person. Wednesday, January 16, 2013. Attachment, Discipline, and Other Fun Stuff. This is wh...

From Another Mother: Our Story of Adoption: Bragfest
http://fromanothermotheradoptionstory.blogspot.com/2013/03/bragfest.html
From Another Mother: Our Story of Adoption. Sunday, March 10, 2013. This post will be dedicated to a bragfest about my kids. Finished his session of swimming and can go underwater without holding his nose. Passed his belt test in karate. Got hit by a boy at a playdate, and didn't hit back. Wrote "I love you Mommy" on the magnadoodle and I wish I could save it forever. Can recite parts of some books from memory, but is especially cute when he "reads" to his brother. Went five days without a major meltdown.

From Another Mother: Our Story of Adoption. Sunday, June 17, 2012. Yes, I know. I have been seriously neglecting this blog. I am STILL waiting for our homestudy to be approved. Right now, it is in the hands of the Central DCF office. From what I hear, several of the higher-ups are on vacation. How dare they? Don't they know they have a homestudy to approve?

From Another Mother: Our Story of Adoption: April 2013
http://fromanothermotheradoptionstory.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
From Another Mother: Our Story of Adoption. Friday, April 12, 2013. Lately I have been thinking a great deal about what kind of men these boys will turn into. I see horrific stories on the news, like the Newtown shootings, the Steubenville rape case, the Aurora shooting. It makes me wonder why those boys turned into the violent men who would commit those horrible acts. What were there parents like? Did they have a traumatic life? Did they have no limits, no nurturing? Becoming a working mom. I am the M h...

From Another Mother: Our Story of Adoption: Honeymoon is Over
http://fromanothermotheradoptionstory.blogspot.com/2013/03/honeymoon-is-over.html
From Another Mother: Our Story of Adoption. Sunday, March 3, 2013. It is safe to say the honeymoon is over. Stuff has gotten real. After what I thought was a breakthrough, Big J has been challenging us every step of the way. On Monday, we had a huge meltdown at gymnastics. Which lead to me carrying him kicking and screaming to the car. Followed by more inconsolable screaming. I said, "So you were mad? He responded, "Yes! We are reading a book entitled Marvin Gets Mad,. About a sheep with a temper.).
