Last weekend Tom and I attended the annual ACONE (Adoption Community of New England) Conference. We attended lectures on a variety of topics including: Adjustment during the first few weeks home, grief and loss issues in adopted children, language acquisition in internationally adopted children, how children learn about race, medical issues in internationally adopted children, and advice for traveling to pick up your children. All lectures were very informative, lots of great info and resources for future reference. We saw some friends there too as well as people from Wide Horizons and coincidentally the conference was in Westborough so that was convenient, we were able to come home for lunch.
As far as an update on the wait, there were a number of referrals last week but no referrals of sibling pairs. I guess that's why I haven't posted b/c there was really nothing new to report in terms of the wait. Every Monday we receive an update on referrals for the week and I hope that I will have some news to report but there haven't been any sibling referrals in a while. I will keep everyone posted...
