A couple at our church adopted a two-year-old from Russia a few years ago. I remember seeing them right after - they had other kids but much older and seemed to be having a hard time managing him, figuring him out; just seemed awkward. They looked really stressed! Though I only saw them on Sundays, I noticed that over the course of a year they all became more relaxed and bonded with the little boy, and he was much happier.
Normal of course - but meant as encouragement.
Congratulations!
