update

Hi,

I know my confidence toward parenting right now may be increasing...but couldn't tell you for sure in till Augest (for thoose who know me ...you might know what I'm talking about!) I also know exactly what causes the unconfidince : lack of knowledge. example: is this enough for kid to be eating?. and of course ...unfamilunal enviorment. where just don't know whats ok...and whats not. maybe kids experience same thing when adopted...I'd make sure at least simiar to old enviorment (same routine ect) and tell expections. (if possible same as other enviorment).

while I'm on the subject of parenting/adoption....I might as well, say what kind of parent I want to be: ...and this is the short verison: Love uncondionally, Unselfish, teach & disicine with love., show learning in a fun way, creative , teach that make best of what have, encouraging ...and let child know how important is . sense of hummor. I think thats all.

now, as far as my book goes...I'm calling it "Simons adventures".

and I'm going to have to print out application at Libraiy. oh well.

today

Hi,

well, Today I surpised my mom...It was fun! ....I must have been funny to see! ...I was holding toliet paper and 2 bags of proggieas and 3 yougurts, the yogurts went up to my chin. and I also went to Walmart and did my "expectant mom" shopping ..I got a baby/toddler/preschool swing, boots and 1 outfit...if it doesn't fit my child when I adopt ...no big deal. I just want to be prepared. i'll do more later tommmorow. and I hope to have a semi open adoption or a open one....I know how important it is for the child to have contact in some way to his/her birthfamily or who looked after him/her.

when home study?

what now?

hi,
so i'm asking myself...what now? ?I know the answer. the answer is i need to do my fundraising and hand in a application to the agency. i might however need another job...I'd want it to be a at home job. but what now while i'm waiting to do that? I guess...get out and go on adventures. and i'm imagineing what my child would be like... and i have also decided to adopt from Ethiopa. I have a cold right now...but doing good. I hope to write a book...but what about??...I guess i'll have the answer to that next time.

decsion made!!

I Have now made the decsion to adopt from the agency! I hope to adopt from Epithopa. so I can now go on with my adoption journey! yahhhhooo! I am going to have to take very small steps for now...it will take quite a while. Is Epithopa in Aficia?

small update

Hi There,

I just thought I'd give you a small update on what I am doing to make the decision to agency or minirstry...I have emailed the agency with some questions that will help me with this decision...and am waiting for a response but I'm going to talk try to single parents who have/or tried to adopt from both the ministry and the agency...I think that might help with this decision.

but at the same time...

I feel so tugged between ministry adoption and the agency adoption...I am still considering international adoption....and kinda feel leaded there...like if I feel peaceful about that agency and I don't feel like giving up that agency just because of fees...I could fundraise right? or am I wrong? (sorry, for the indescion here) does anyone have fundraising ideas..??

what a adventure

on thursday I took the bus to visit some family members..and since I'm only working sunday and monday till summer I had the oppertunity to have a visit.well, I had the right bus (kept thinking I was taking the wrong bus...but I finally remmbered and found out I was taking the right one..)...and there was a certin bus stop I expected to the bus to stop at...but it stopped at a differant one that I've been to before and i got off (well, it makes sense....I've never taken the bus to the town that I was going to...only from the town) and I thought the house address was a certin adddress...well,I walked and walked...but the nummbers were only getting higher...so I turned around and walked the other way to find the address I thought it was...I got all the way to the top and realized there was no such address...it was pretty much a dead end road up there exept for turning and going straight or just go back where I was. yes, I was scared. and so I went back down a bit (which was the right way...I later found out) and asked a neighbour if I could use their phone and they said yes so I phoned and asked where they were ...and when I found out I kept going down the road and then the family memmbers picked me up and we went to where their house was.

the funny part of my adventure was that I had a dream similar to my adventure(but very differnt in ways).

God does provide for our needs I am so Glad to know that.

Hi There,

adoption..

Hi welcome to my blog!

so far on my journey to motherhood through adoption...I have taken a information session 7 months ago and am now looking into a adoption agency. I first thought of adopting when I was 19. and I'm glad I made the choice to adopt a child...every child desverves a family! right now, I am considering adopting a child internationly (but keeping that open)...does any one have experience with adopting a child overseas? if so I would love to hear your experience. I have had a job for 4 months and I like my job...i sometimes even sing while working. I took a parenting course which was very helpfull and I miss it. my hope for my to-be child is ...that he/she will go for their dreams nomatter what the challenges are. my other dreams for myself is to be a writter and make childrens clothes. (speaking of which, I am in the process of finishing a sleeper for a cousin..with much help.)


adventures.
