Episode Synopsis

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: My husband Sean and I are here in Canada and early in the adoption process. We are looking at private infant adoption through an adoption agency.  My question is around getting ready. When we successfully match it is almost a certainty it will be with a newborn and there’s a 30% chance it’s a no-notice match and we have days rather than months to get ready. How would you recommend preparing? Do you think getting a crib, clothes, etc. is overkill? I’m a planner, so I love to be prepared!  Thanks!Resources:Suggested Books for AdoptionCreating a Family Online Support GroupTransitioning a Child to Your HomeSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.
