My husband and I have always talked about adopting, and finally felt we were ready, so we are in the beginning process of adopting through the state (Florida). My husband has been wary throughout this whole process, while I was pretty sure we were going to be fine. Suddenly, I am so scared I don't know what to do. I have been reading every book I can get my hands on, thinking that I can prepare myself as best as possible, but instead they just scare me. I know I can tell our caseworker that we can not take a child who has RAD, or ODD, but I am still concerned that I won't be able to handle this. I know I still want to adopt, I know we will be ok, or better. In fact, my husband, the ever-cautious one, is now the confident one about the whole situation. He keeps telling me that I have a little cold-feet, because the fact that this is really happening has finally hit me. Please someone tell me he is right!

Trust me when I say your husband is absolutely right! in my opinion:) We joined a support group for sometime while we were going through the whole process and it was pointed out that because this is a journey where we have very little control we often try to take as much control and plan as much as possible. My best advice.... put down the books and try and have some fun:) sometimes to much knowledge can be a bad thing. This a process and there will be time for you to learn/read the necessary things to care for the little one :) Good luck to you and the hubby!
