A Peek Inside

"Expectations are a funny thing.  We create them for ourselves, but they are often the source of our greatest disappointments. 

If you are considering adopting, in the process of adopting, or even already adopted a child years ago, chances are there are expectations involved.

You probably have expectations for your adopted child.  You may expect her to be a certain way, or like everything you like, or believe everything you believe.  You may expect him to treat you a certain way or behave a certain way or develop a certain way.  You may expect your child to love and adore you for all you have done.  You may expect a lot of things.

Forget about it."
