[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 717781, member: 1550"] As an adoptive mom with a BFF who was adopted, i stand by not showig up as a family. It is way too soon. Dad and her need to bond first. Let the girls just FB. Thats enough. This woman most certainly could have many issues. Until you know she is safe and sane kerp the others out of it. She is going to feel bad about her background. No way to avoid that. None. She will probably resent your kids who grew up in the same house as her dad. Expect these things. Dont be romantic. This young woman must have serious problems. Expect your family to also have problems with her. Go slow. Go slow. Go slow. Adopted kids who were passed around and/or adopted at older ages tend to be emotionally messed up. We and most in our large adoptive parent group learned this. This woman is a stranger. Go sloooooow. Bio. Dad and daughter only until a relationship is formed...a stable one. Dont overwhelm her. Dont try to squeeze her into a family quickly. Good luck to all. [/QUOTE]
