Does the International Adoption idea seem scary, with lots of unknown variables to it? Some of you who are reading this, may know somebody who has been through this or may not know anybody who has adopted, let alone internationally.

Being fearful is natural, sometimes we let that fear dominate our thoughts and actions and we end up going against our intuition. A good exercise is to project yourself forward 5 years and imagine what you will be doing. I am sure you don’t want to be in the same situation you are in now.

Here are some things you can be doing

Take action – by actively doing something it helps to alleviate your fear.
