Adoptive Parents: What To Do While Waiting For Your Ukrainian Adoption: Take Care of Yourself!!

You, the soon to be adopted parents, are the focus of Part 10 of
our series on what to do while you wait for your Ukrainian
Adoption.

Work on yourself!

· Take care of yourself. The Ukrainian (and every)
adoption process is stressful and international travel is too.
Keep healthy by ensuring you get enough rest and exercise.

· Work out, especially with weights. If you are adopting
in Ukraine, you will most likely be adopting a toddler or older
child. Are you ready to lift and carry your new child? Get your
back and upper body ready to lift and hold!! Your body will thank
you later!

· Don't hesitate to find a great counselor to work with
you and your family. It will be helpful to discuss the new
challenges you are facing and healthy to have a safe
non-judgmental outlet for venting frustrations. You may want to
start meeting with them before you travel to the Ukraine to have
an outlet for all your emotions regarding the Ukrainian adoption
process. Ask for recommendations from your Ukrainian adoption
agency or Ukrainian adoption facilitator.

· Keep a written or scrapbook journal documenting your
feelings and activities daily throughout this once in a lifetime
Ukrainian adoption process.

provide a permanent home for a needy orphaned child, welcome a
