Newly joined

Hello. I am new to the group and wished to introduce myself. My husband and I adopted our son from Russia in 2012. At the end of August he is turning 4. He has been a delight to our lives and we couldn't feel more blessed. But the process to adopting him was challenging and I also suffered from post-adoption depression after he came home. I wish to be able to help others going through the process, both before and after as the journey doesn't end when you bring your child home. Self-care, attachment/bonding and family integration and parenting are all part of the ongoing journey.
