Last night we let the kids sleep on the floor in our room. I love it. I wish we could have a giant king size bed and all of us sleep together. But its probably not good for sexy time and all. I love doing things with my kids and spending time together.
Yesterday I looked up state adoption for our state. I saw a picture of a beautiful girl around 9 I think. They don't give that much information on the kids online. In our state each parent has to have 30 hours of training. And for kids with abusive pasts you have to have more. I would have to have 50 hours of training to adopt the girl I saw but she looked like she was smiling right at me. Now is not the time for us to adopt but I wan't to have an idea of what would happen if we were able to one day.
I told my family about it and they were all appalled. My mom told me about her great aunt that adopted a boy and he was wild and uncontrollable. SHe told me I had to protect what I already had. I know stuff like that could happen and I would not make a decision lightly.
I love kids so much
And I feel for the ones with no family
I wish I could protect all kids like that
I know I am not a perfect mom but I am a really good one. Especially considering my childhood.
I love so hard
One of the best things I've learned over the years, AmbyLand, is not to live my life according to what everyone else thinks. And it certainly does seem like everyone else has an opinion (often negative) sometimes, doesn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me like you're a kind, intelligent woman with a big heart and that you should do whatever that heart leads you to do. :)
Yes its true. I am going to adopt when I am able to. Right now is not the time because I already have 2 goobers and a goober husband. But when the time is right . . . .
