"How do I deal with the pain that comes with adoption?" 

Counseling, support groups, crying, journaling, taking time for yourself, talking about it, prayer. These are what have worked for Jessica. Take advantage of the post-adoption support resources that your agency offers - whether it's a support group or one-on-one counseling. People want to help you process.
