My husband and I just completed our PRIDE classes and are hoping to adopt in Santa Clara county. We know another couple who adopted siblings in Alameda county (but now live out of state) and they have provided lots of good info. The information you provide has been so helpful to both my husband and me. We are at the very beginning stages but will continue to follow your story with your two girls. This last blog was one of the most informative as we do not want to start the process without knowing what we're getting into. I trained as a child advocate so I'm familiar with some issues facing the children in the system. Attachment issues are what scares me the most and we will just have to be diligent in asking the right questions and not being afraid of saying what we feel. Thanks again!
