My husband and I are currently in the process of internationally adopting a child from China. Right now, we are up to our eyeballs in paperwork, but it is well worth it. It will be a year or so before she actually comes home, but I am trying to think ahead. Besides, it may be good to have some ideas in mind before our social worker does our home study. The babies are usually between 8 months and 1 year old when they come home, so she will not be a tiny newborn-sized baby.

Anyway, my question is this: Does anyone have any suggestions for easing the adjustment with our three cats? We are not as much worried about Samson and Chloe as we are about Saphirah. Saphirah tends to be pretty temperamental at times. I would really appreciate any advice that could be passed along.

Thanks!
