Completing the adoption was just the first step in the lifelong journey called Parenthood.  Turns out, there are a lot of unexpected challenges and questions that arise as the years go by.  Where are we supposed to send the post-placement reports, and for how long?  How do we get connected to other families with kids from Cambodia?  How do we help our kids understand their heritage?  Is the issue we're dealing with an adoption thing or a normal childhood phase?  How do we handle our child's questions about their adoption - especially if there were problems or serious issues and we really don't know the answers? 

 

CambodiaAdoptionConnection doesn't have all the answers.  But we do have resources that can help you get answers - or at least get connected with other families grappling with the same questions.  Sometimes just knowing you're not walking this journey alone can be a great thing.
