How these 3 months have passed so quickly and with so much intensity. I feel like I haven't been able to fully document it all, but I suppose that is the nature of real life when you are fully immersed in it. What I can tell you is that it has been full of highs and lows. Moments of insecurity as a mother when I wasn't sure Tessa was bonding. Insecurity I have never experienced before, but I think is normal in this experience. There have been moments of chaos....true and utter chaos. And then there have been moments of beautiful joy and love.
The truth is that it all takes time to find your way. Isn't that true of any parenting experience? And adoption is certainly no exception. Bonding is truly a process, one that takes patience, time and nurturing. Which is precisely why it is so unique and special. The signs of bonding are there all the time now....and I feel a sense of relief.
3 months home....3 months of being Tessa's forever Mommy, 3 months of our family complete and moving into our future together.
