We suspected this might be the case when we adopted Roxy, but today I have confirmation. Roxy is pregnant and expected to be due in six weeks. This happens to new parents all the time, but I don’t expect most parents adopting teenage girls think it will happen to them. … Continue reading →
Roxy has been in the house for eight days. She’s off her best behavior now, and we’re seeing what we think is the real Roxy, but it may be too early to tell. I’m comparing her integration into the household to the Five Stages of Teambuilding. Remember those? Forming, Storming, … Continue reading →
