(Not trying to promote my own posts, but I clicked on the link above and I really had to dig through to find any that are more what you're looking for.) Also, not sure if you're looking for domestic or international.</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/06/05/bonding-and-adoption/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/06/05/bonding-and-adoption/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-first-days#post-1982571 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 15:07:33 +0000 Orchid 1982571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-first-days#post-1982569 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 15:07:24 +0000 Orchid 1982569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I would love to read more!</p> <p>@hotchildinthecity: I will check out your blog.

My son has been home for two weeks. I've been wanting to do a two week check in...I'll probably work on it while he naps today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-first-days#post-1982063 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:19:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1982063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can write some more on the topic... I don't think I spent a lot of time on that.</p> <p>I think the transition from one environment in the womb to a completely new (probably much quieter in respect to noise and much more verbal stimulation) leads a lot of babies to kind of check out. It was impressive how much Jack jack slept and it took her a little longer to really engage with us... But man, when she started flashing that 1000 watt smile, the heart melted!</p> <p>Of course I can only write from the domestic infant perspective. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-first-days#post-1982033 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:10:13 +0000 Orchid 1982033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-first-days#post-1982024 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:06:40 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1982024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a link to all the posts on the blog about adoption. Mrs. Paintbrush has written recently about the first few days at home with her second LO. There are some great posts in the list!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/tag/adoption/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/tag/adoption/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-first-days#post-1981970 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 10:40:31 +0000 Orchid 1981970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can anyone point me go blog posts on HB or other blogs about the first weeks of having the adopted LO home and getting LO acclimated to their new home and family? </p>
