Daughter and Son started back to school today. They were both excited and nervous. Son was talking 90 miles an hour! I'm happy for them, because I know that the summer was getting boring toward the end. There are always a lot of adjustments when school starts, so I'm sure we have a busy week ahead.
A part of me is sad, because I really wanted the girls to be able to start school with us today too. They started last Monday. I'm frustrated with the wait. Patience isn't one of my strongpoints when I want something done.
Strange: A friend of mine told her boyfriend that I wanted to adopt, and he said, "Why? Isn't she happy with the family she has?" What a strange thought. If someone had two children and got pregnant to have a third would he ask that? I don't know, I just thought that was strange, and I was kind of offended. I think it would be more likely that I wouldn't want more children if I didn't like the ones I had! I've always wanted a large family, and due to circumstances being what they are now, adoption is the best expansion plan for us. Some people really have strange thoughts about adoption.

People are funny. I just had a client who was on-site last week, after finding out I was in the process of adoption ask, "What in the world ever brings a couple to adopt a child?" I wanted to say, "Why in the world would a couple NOT adopt and help a child?". Instead I said there are many reasons, actually too many to have that conversation right now. I chose not to be offended, how can you ever explain the gift of adoption to someone who would even ask a question like that. I chalk it up to people being uneducated. We need to come up with a good one-liner.
how about, "I can't understand why some people's hearts aren't big enough to adopt." That's just mean. sorry. lol
"What in the world ever brings a couple to adopt a child?"
There are many reasons why people choose to build their family by adoption. Hopefully, no matter what the cause, the couple is motivated by love.
