I am not surprised. My daughter was almost 11 months at adoption and she is now 5 1/2 years. We have acted that out too numerous times. She has also acted out the birth. Her idea not mine, by putting her head under my shirt and then wiggling out and pretending that I gave birth to her. We have acted out the story of Moses in the basket. I have played the birth mother and the adoptive mother. I am normally a strict on Bible accuracy but let it slide when the story changed to a Chinese baby. We acted out the scene when she was left at the doorstep of the orphanage and I played the birth mother and kissed her cheek crying telling her how I loved her and did not want to let her go but wanted to have a better life. We were both crying terribly though the whole thing. I felt like I got carried away with my part but now I think it was the best thing that could have happened. We seem to have gotten past all of that now. We also tell the adoption story /got you day story over and over again. DO NOT ever push her away and not let her act it out. It is very weird, I know, but I think it is very necessary. It is part of a healing process. <br />They say they all need to be regressed. Parent the emotional age of your child. If you have to spoon feed her and talk to her in baby talk and pretend she is two, do it. It will help her to grow up emotionally. I am so glad you are homeschooling your children. We use BJU Press DLO. It is wonderful if you have not tried it out.<br /><br />God bless your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219233868886406359.post-73404813059202261112011-09-23T18:49:56.721-07:002011-09-23T18:49:56.721-07:00I enjoyed reading about your family.
