Blog Buzz Question of the Week

This weeks question is when do you commit your heart to your child? Upon sight of the referral picture, court date or homecoming??

For me personally I think your heart commitment grows little by little....day by day. From the first stack of papers, to announcing the adoption to family to the day of referral. Now that we have our referral it makes it so easy to LOVE these children. Yes, we know that things happen and we could lose these children. However the same is true in pregnancy let we allow ourselves to love our unborn child.
It was so untangible prior to our referral pic. We did not know ages or genders...now we can speak about these specific children and buy things for them.
I suspect that the love will be cemented upon court date. While NOTHING is like seeing and holding your children for the first time!
