We adopted Taylor through domestic infant adoption 4 years ago, she is 4. Now in 1 month we will be bringing home Ruth who is 7 from Haiti(well we leave on May 29 for the first 2-4 day trip and the 2nd one when we bring her home is scheduled for June 29)

It seems like I could handle that for a couple hours a day, but all the time would be very taxing.

Our social worker cautioned us against adopting out of “birth” order. I’d love to hear of your experience and opinion.

I have also been watching the videos but have only gone through a handful. I am personally having bonding issues with my children which often creates a bad cycle of misbehavior for my kids and anger for me. Anyway, I have been trying to do “level of responses” (1) Whoa Nellie, do you want to try it again with respect? 2) two choices 3) think it over spot. One of my issues our 7 year old daughter throws a fit. To keep her with me when I am trying to teach school does not work. However, leaving her up in her room is not recommended. Should I stop everthing with my other kids and focus on her? Most of the time she seems to be trying to get attention. The other question is what do we do with willfull disobedience. When they hear and understand you but they choose to disobey (often with no remorse)? Are their other consequences that are recommended? We are also having trouble with lying and I am not sure what consequences I should give for that. It seems like the 3 level of responses do not work but I suppose it takes time. I guess that was 3 questions:) I understand why you become a trainer. I need to study this to understand it.

We have 2 other children (who also were adopted (but as infant & toddler). Did you wait a few months after the older kids were home before you officially started homeschooling and just use that first few months for attachment building and language immersion? Ours will be 9 & 10 when they get home (hopefully).

The youngest first, the middle in the middle and the oldest most recently. The oldest and the youngest are (for right now) about the same age emotionally – and most of our struggles between them are a result of the “alpha/oldest/knows the most issue. What to do???
