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?

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!

@Leialou: thank you!

I can write some more on the topic... I don't think I spent a lot of time on that.
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!
Of course I can only write from the domestic infant perspective.

I am currently writing about it on my 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.

She focuses a little more on challenges of adopting a child with a cleft lip and palette, but talks about other aspects as well

@Mrs. Jacks: I would love to read more!
@hotchildinthecity: I will check out your blog. Thank you.

@swurlygurl: thanks!

@Leah: I never really wrote about the specifics of getting acclimated because it felt natural, but I wrote this about bonding. (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.

@Mrs. Polish: thank you!
