Are you adopting a child without mentally preparing your own child? <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou are doing a grave mistake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you wondering how? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your biological child feels confused when you share your\nlove with someone who does not belong to the family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your own child revolts when he\\she has to share his\\her\nthings with the newly adopted member of the family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And your adopted child feels completely alien in a hostile\natmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are ruining the emotional security of your child as well\nas that your adopted child. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How should you treat your adopted child when you have one of your own?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNever be partial towards your own child. Treat both equally.<\/li> Include your adopted child in all family\nactivities as you do with your own child.<\/li> Have a frank talk with your own child and tell\nhim that the adopted child is his brother\\sister.<\/li> Never make him\\her feel he\\she is adopted.<\/li> Never tell your relatives\\friends that the child\nis adopted when he\\she is around. The adopted child is emotionally shattered.<\/li> You should spend quality time with your adopted\nchild. <\/li> You should make great adjustments to make him\\her\nfeel home.<\/li> You must make him\\her feel completely at home by\ngiving him\\her your loving attention. <\/li> Never utter the words \u201cyou would obey me if you\nwere my own child\u201d.<\/li> Never make your adopted child feel \u201cif they were\nmy own parents, they would be more caring and loving\u201d.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nYet another important aspect you should consider before\nadopting a child is his\\her age. When you adopt a child when he\\she is a baby\nhe\\she becomes emotionally attached to you very easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But when you adopt a grown-up child, he\\she still remembers\nhis\\her parents. You find it very difficult to make your adopted child\nunderstand that you are his\\her new parents. Your grown-up adopted child does\nnot immediately feel belonged to you as his\\her mind is wary of your love and\ncare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never rush into adopting a child. Analyze your mindset. Consult\nyour spouse. Have a frank talk with your own child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should adopt only when you get the go-ahead signal from\nall members of the family. The final decision should always be mutual and united.\nIt is that important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cBeing\na mother is an attitude, not a biological relation.\u201d – <\/em><\/strong>Robert A. Heinlein<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCan you see that living with an adopted child needs\ndedication and commitment from you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should make the adopted child feel that you are his\nparents. When you do it, it makes the adopted child feel emotionally sheltered\nby you, as your home becomes a haven to him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
