Your heart of compassion and enormous empathy may have played a large role in your decision to adopt.
The flipside of these great qualities might also lead you into ...
... Emotional exhaustion, as adoptive mothers often carry the emotional burdens of their children, especially if they come from difficult backgrounds
... Difficulty in setting healthy boundaries
...Feelings of frustration or disappointment when building family bonds take longer than expected or fail to happen at all
... Stress or self-doubt under pressure to create a perfect family dynamic
