I've been picking up lots of books - the what to expect books are on there, but I also want to heed saras advice on Dr. Sears' books.Brihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827049920771791750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269752752790199141.post-34025742301545311252008-07-28T15:34:00.000-05:002008-07-28T15:34:00.000-05:00ash- hey you. i just wanted to tell you that you ...ash- hey you. i just wanted to tell you that you and mark have been on my heart lately. i am so thrilled for you both... i LOVE thinking about you guys having a little one running around... makes me happy. can't wait to hear more about everything-Courtney Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15820600452336901264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269752752790199141.post-76612750232093645872008-07-28T13:25:00.000-05:002008-07-28T13:25:00.000-05:00We just finished our last home study yesterday!

It seems like so many of my adoption pals are reading "What to expect the first year"...I'll have to go out and get it! :)Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920816691217676013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269752752790199141.post-65847425535512970742008-07-27T21:42:00.000-05:002008-07-27T21:42:00.000-05:00OH my gosh, I can't wait to hear about the seminar...OH my gosh, I can't wait to hear about the seminar! I bet it was really encouraging to be with so many other adoptive parents-to-be :) I cried for like 30 minutes when we dropped Moby off at our friend's house the night before we left. I was afraid he'd think I was abandoning him! But alas, all is well and I hear he's doing great!<BR/>Miss you girl!

I think you would really like his book called "Attachment Parenting". Talks a lot about bonding in the early months. Didn't like the "What To Expect" books at all...throw them out .Just my opinion, of course :) love ya!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354167372400575265noreply@blogger.com
