Comments on: Why our social worker should not have approved us for adoption https://www.thecorkboardonline.com/2017/08/why-our-social-worker-should-not-have-approved-us-for-adoption/ Thu, 04 Jan 2018 00:28:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.8 By: Sarah https://www.thecorkboardonline.com/2017/08/why-our-social-worker-should-not-have-approved-us-for-adoption/#comment-311479 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 00:28:50 +0000 http://www.thecorkums.com/?p=8070#comment-311479 I entirely agree… I thought I was so much calmer this time around (I have a 22 year old and a 4 year old), and also that working with my son who has autism had gotten me used to a routine. But, it didn’t, I’m not. I have so many buttons that are so easy to push! It’s exhausting and I DO wish Dr. Purvis would move into my house, but then I would have to clean it a lot better than I do… sigh

It’s kind of a catch 22 isn’t it?

The problem is the people who are calm, uncluttered and predictable are not the people who are adopting older children. It is probably because of all the above attributes that you (and I ) sought out adoption in the first place ! Not sure what the solution to that is : /

Thanks for sharing your self-reflection. We need more social workers (and prospective parents) to read this!

Nicole,
Come to think of it, I was a calm mom with our first two, too 😉

Calm went out the window five minutes into our drive home with them.

I get what you mean though. These are items we should have at least been trained in before adopting- even though I doubt any of us are naturals at all of it. And while questions should have been asked, your willingness to grow and learn to love your family well is encouraging. I’m often learning from you and thankful you share your wisdom.
