Unrealistic expectations and heart takes over. Parent do like the child. Try to understand child

Counselling is useful. Child prefers one parent over the other. Art therapy is great.

Adopted children from an orphanage have many life experiences that you can’t take away. African children have seen acts of violence. Parents don’t realize. Learn as much as you can about the place that the child comes from. Also think as a child.

Counselling is important. Home studies are great but it all stops after you get the child home. You are not my mother. Ask for help.
