Speaking from experience over the last 3 months with our daughter I can tell you that it works. The plan you are following is EXACTLY what he needs. We had this confirmed by the child psychiatrist today and our evaluation team who examined her today and said that the amazing strides that our daughter has made in attaching and the rules that we followed and everything we did over the last 3 months have led to how well she's doing today and the great strides she's made in overcoming RAD in the last 3 months. We're not out of the woods yet, but they are thrilled with her progress and how well she is doing. Congratulations on having him home and I wish you all the best over the next few months of adapting to this new reality. Yes, it will be hard, but it's definitely worth it. There will be days that you feel like tearing your hair out and you may have more bad days than good (if he has attachment issues at first), but in the end you'll have an amazing little boy who will be strongly attached to you all. Blessings to you all. We will be praying for you that he attaches quickly.Our Family Adventures!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04279378864152658497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193834537661732936.post-49412419602391502912011-06-15T16:56:36.491-07:002011-06-15T16:56:36.491-07:00We implemented something very similar in our home ...We implemented something very similar in our home when we adopted our DD (from a foster home, and so fewer adjustments, of course).

You are doing the very best thing for your boys and for your friends and family who have shared this journey with you. I love the idea of sending a letter so others know what your experience and expectations will be when you get (are) home with your precious son. There will be many years for those outside your immediate family to bond with Kirill, but only a short period of time at the very beginning for him to bond with you as his parents and his new brother. I've been following your story and praying for you. So excited for you all to be home and a complete family! <br /><br />In Him,<br />Natalienataliehttp://thebensonfamilyandotherstuff.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193834537661732936.post-48698275472291317842011-06-15T11:29:37.451-07:002011-06-15T11:29:37.451-07:00Such a beautiful gesture of the love and life you ...Such a beautiful gesture of the love and life you desire to offer your son!

I hope Kirill has an easy transition and I am so touched to see your faith in God through the difficulty in bringing him home. It takes special people to continue to trust and not give up to move on to an "easier" adoption. Continuing to pray for your family and looking forward to see your family blossom on your blog.
