It’s easy to become overwhelmed by any adoption process. There comes a time when you just want to dig your way out of the forms and come up for air. These are the times you really need to hear from someone who has gone through the process before. Adoption blogs are the perfect resource to relax some from some of that stress. Reading the stories of real families who have gone through the process and are now raising adopted children can really make you feel supported.
