Every time my husband or I hear that someone is considering adoption we jump in with our story through the adoption process. Now my mom is even starting to do it. A client of her has a daughter that is considering adoption and so now she passes my information on to them. She tells people about the wonderful children just waiting in the foster care system for a forever home.
It was funny she calls me up asking me what agency we used, who our case worker was and how long the process was. Do you know what my answer to her was? That she should check out my blog at families.com it will take her step by step through the adoption process and if she has any questions that the entries do not answer than ask and I will help her with those. Was it wrong to refer her to my postings?
Normally I would have sat down and gone into so much information that she would have known all there is to know within one phone call. This time though I am so over whelmed with my husband being in the hospital and getting laid off from work today that I just can’t possibly begin to talk to anyone about anything good. I am so stressed that I need a sanity break and soon.
I do hope the lady does check out the blog and then calls me with any questions she may have. Hopefully I will be in a better place. Where she would hear about all the wonderful kids in the foster care system and how wonderful my kids are. OK I may be a bit biased with them but they love me and I love them so much. Today when I was having a mini meltdown from stress all three of them came over to me. One brought tissues and a bottle of water, one rubbed my back and one gave me a hug that is still making me smile.
I know some people doubt if you can love a kid that is not your biological but for me there is no doubt and even better they love me despite the fact I am not their tummy mommy.
