[QUOTE="The Luke, post: 575280, member: 1976"] For those of you who have adopted or anything similar, when did you feel that connection with your kids that you knew you wanted to adopt them and that they were "your" kids? We've got this little girl at the house right now. And spent all afternoon/evening with her. The wife and I have spent a lot of the night/morning talking and we just aren't sure how to feel. The foster parents are pushing to split her from her older sister for reasons we aren't sure of yet. But, this little girl has spent a lot of time talking about how she loves her sister and misses her and can't wait to see her on Saturday. I'm just not sure how I feel about splitting them up and to be honest. And I'm really struggling to feel a "parental" connection with her. I know it's early and I plan on still going at this with a positive attitude. But I just can't get myself talked into this being the "right" thing to do. My gut is saying it isn't right. But I don't know if that's normal at this stage or if I should listen to it. Just looking for some insight from someone who might have been in similar shoes. [/QUOTE]
