]]> I don’t know what I would have done without my online support system when I first adopted my children. The experience of being in a foreign country with three new children whose language I couldn’t understand could only really be understood by a certain subdivision of the adoption community. It certainly was not appreciated among friends and family who had no experience raising children who had been victims of trauma or neglect. Yet, the assurances of people who had been “in the trenches” and attested that their children had made quantum jumps since those frenzied first few months were some of the few affirmations that gave me hope in my early insecurity.
