As I watch a few of my friends getting ready to adopt their daughters, I am reminded of my feelings that I had right before we left to go get Faith. I was SO scared of what adding a younger sibling to the family was going to do to the current "baby", my Shelby baby. I just knew that she was going to be very jealous and I really thought she might regress in our attachment process that we had worked so hard at. I thought that her trust in me would waiver and that we would all have to prove to her again that we STILL loved her even though there was now a new baby in the family.
Boy, was I wrong! From the very minute that we received Faith, Shelby has done nothing but LOVE love love her baby sister. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it is the truth. Something changed in Shelby that day. Something very wonderful changed in Shelby's heart that day unexpectedly...
