In the midst of the great excitement of welcoming a new baby into our family, I hope that I will be able to help our friends and family understand how this transition is different than it would be with a biological child. Our baby may have real and valid fears about abandonment. He will surely be disoriented and confused. Even if he decides to accept us right away (which may or may not happen), he will need time to learn to trust us. The Rumor Queen site has an interesting discussion today about attachment and bonding with a child adopted from China.

We spent our morning at the Museum of Life and Science. Scotty literally ran everwhere we went, and Mason, Jackson, Carter (cousins) ran with him or after him! We had fun.
