All will be well // Det skal nok gå

Samuel and I went with the congregation in Vejle to a small zoo near by on Sunday. We had a good time.

To day Duncan and I have been to see the adoption consultant again. She's good, and it's a great help to have someone, who understands about adoption, feelings, nervous systems, development and family relations all at the same time! We gain a greater understanding of Samuel, of our task as parents and of our selves in the new situation that we're in.

And yes, she kept underlining, it is a new situation - even if it feels as though he has always been here 5 months is not a long time. It isn't. And we know it. Yet it's so easy to forget. And therefore easy to expect a lot of ourselves: shouldn't we have a routine by now? Why is it so difficult to start back at work? We ought to be able to put him to bed.... And many thoughts along those lines.

I think she gave us a healthy perspective. And most importantly she gave us hope and confidence. All will be well!!
