Its time!! We have been home for a whole month already. We are required to have a social worker come to the house at 1 month, 6 months, and every year for 5 years post adoption.
Our social worker came out to the house and asked us a lot of questions that really consisted to Mya’s adjusting, our adjusting and our new normal!! She wanted to know about Mya’s schedule and how she was handling everything, sleeping, playing, strangers, eating and just everyday relations.
I knew that Mya had some “situations” in China with certain things that I have mentioned but I guess I haven’t really thought about them much until the SW asked the questions and my response was: well in China she did that, and in China she did that, and no she hasn’t done that since China. I am so pleased at the progress that she has made, but it also makes me reflect back to what she has and is really going through.
You know, we often say when a child is crying, “oh it’s so hard being insert name here well, and it really is hard being Mya. Sometimes, when she lets out this screeching cry and the kids all try to comfort her, I just tell them, just let her cry and let mommy and Daddy try to comfort her, because we aren’t sure if she possibly had a bad memory happen or maybe she is remembering a good memory and is missing someone or something, we just don’t know. I wish I could be in her head and be able to know what it is that she is going through so I could help her in any possible way. Well, we all know that isn’t possible, so we are just gonna love her through this!!!! She could also just be acting like a normal 2 year old, but I don’t know that for sure and I don’t want to just assume it’s a 2 year old fit that she is throwing or if she just needs some extra love at that moment! I am so happy that we are here and are ready to give her the love that she needs!!!!!
Sorry, I just got off the subject!!!! Anyway, our post placement went really well and the SW was very pleased with Mya and her progress!!!!!! We will see her again at the 6 month visit!!
Until next time~God Bless!
