To be a successful adoptive parent it takes flexibility, patience, tolerance, and having a sense of humor.
The Successful Adoptive Parent ...
• Is fully prepared for adoption and assists the child with adjustment.
• Maintains a connection with the child’s birth family to ensure the children maintain their sense of identity and experience a reduced sense of loss.
• Uses friends, family members and faith-based communities as a support system.
• Finds humor in daily life (even in crisis) and practices self-care.
