adoption and foster care, Autism

Hi,

I hope to adopt a child and do foster care!....there are so many kids waiting for a family and so many kids waiting for a home! so I'm going to do both.(one at a time of course..Idon't think I can adopt and do foster care at the same time.) boy! I need to serisely take this one day at a time. (no kidding!...I actully brought 2 scrapbooks yesterday..1 for adoption , 1 for foster kid!) And I found out from another blog April is Autism Awareness month!....so spread it on! Celebrate their special personaties! Fundraise! really in my eyes if you can go into their world you'll find its quite fasinating and fun! my awareness is that it can be positive! I'd totally adopt a child with autism! .

homeschooling blog

Hi,
I'm going to make a septrate blog for the homeschooling.

work, summer, adoption

Hi,
I had a good day at work today! and I had a good weekend! getting the opptunity to hang out with you Lindsay definally was a part in this! wondering exactly when I should annouce to my boss that I'm adopting....he has to give a letter for my homestudy...so it has to be before that. summer is coming so fast! looking forward to it!! (even if I am working in the summer...exept for some special occaisions: camping with family and babysitting). I'm adopting either a boy or girl...I want to be surpised! I love my adoption agency. hmm..I wonder if Art is open now? speaking of Art....I've heard of Art Therpy and rainbows....maybe this will help my child with any loss or greif my child may have...I better look into Art therpy more.is'nt there play therpy too? if so that is included. I have already been to rainbows.

homeschooling part 2

Hi,

well, I didn't get to homeschool with Levi oh well, maybe next time *smile* but I did get to do a bit of homeschooling with a different kid..(it was reading). it was cool but on some points frustrating (I forgot the "th" sound(you see..when I'm helping a child read I'll do the sound with it too...like "ku" "ah" "T" so the kid knows the sounds of it and can then when gets used to it when sees a word can try and sound it out and know what the word is or if already knows the word but forgot I use it as a hint. but there are some sounds like the "r" and the "th" that I have trouble on and need to hear it and work on a lot before I get it right...I think I'm going to work on thoose more before i begin again.) and I had a good time in the area i was in! the only probblem was I am continusly waking up at 4...or 6 ...or 7am(today is the only day I actully woke up at 10am) I guess it prfepares me for when I'm a mom*smile* and I asked the adoption agency if homeschooling the child is a option and said "yes that is fine" (because I realy wasn't sure) YAY!!! and I FINALLY got AFABC mazainze in mail today!

homeschooling- part 1

hi,
well, I outta get moving about this ...I'll call it "sunshine preschool" ...i would change to school as the child got older. (wouldn't that be so funny if...it stayed like that and a kid asks: "so what school do you go to?" kid: "Sunshine preschool (embrassed look) I'm in grade 5".) do you see why i'd change it? or maybe i need a name that goes best with all stages??well, I hope to get some practice this week. with my cousin Levi (he's closer to the age of a child I'd be adopting.)if possible. I'll update you guys when I come back. *smiles*

starting to pack...

Yes my dear friends you heard that....I'm packing to move right this very day! (despite the fact that I have not rented a place yet) but there is a apparentment available next door that I can maybe move into...although its a 1 bedrm I need a 2 bedrm (when I adopt)..but that will be good enough for now...so I'm going to check into it when I get the oppertunity...and hopefully start on another job.

and I will be away from the 11th to the 14th.

yet another song

this reminds me that God is with me in this journey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHdcyue0bSw
and that he'll help me though it.

finally decided!!

Hi,

I have now decided tio move out alone!...all I have to do now is find a place.....and other things but I already said them. I recently told one of my Co-workers I'm adopting...(I Reallly didn't have to Say much...just showed him the front cover of my adoption journal!)

adoption application

Hi,
I have finally got my adoption application printed out from the Libraiy....and am now starting to fill it out!! YAY!!! yet there is this big decision I need to make before I Completly fill it out....to move out or not to? (don't worry I'll figure it out). well, either way I'm moving out...but to move out alone is actully the question. i'll keep you updated about that.

homeschooling

Yup...this is the route I choose I can just move around hours from work. I can even start when I'm on my parental leave (that would be when my child is home for good) I definally have a passion for it! (homeschooling) I just need resources. I know this will be hard as a single mom but really I love challenges!

good for a laugh! and other stuff

Hi,

almost have the sleeper finished...just need collar & sleves & sew the sides(skipped out on botties ...because getting warm out and summer coming so soon) YAYHHH!!!!
Ok...this is the funny part you've been waiting for!....a coulple days ago I threw the knife ( butter knife) in the...GArbage can!!! I am the Absent-minded qween Haaahaaa I'm laughing at myself.

Aficia...can't stop thinking about it....compaired to over there adopting locol is boring! (this is just how I feel)..I like the music....I'm up to learn a new language.. and new culture....I want to make a difference...I want to give a orphan a home. .. if you could pray for all thoose who have Aids over there that would be so great! I do find rattle snakes(if even there) and AIds scary but I also know that nothing matters...other than giving a child a home. and family.
something I'm wondering about is ...do some schools/daycares speak Afican?? or do I need to homeschool? or find a translatter??...while teaching child english. I wouldn't mind homeschooling....just would be difficult with my work schhele (is however flexiable...could try to put it at diffurant hours if possible when time comes?).
ps: Lindsay, thank you for praying about my journey in adoption...since then I am more patient with waiting (even through Very excitted) tell the prayer cell I say Thank you to them to

Thank you.

had a fun end to a day!

Hi,

a Neighbour moved out that i don't really really know, but I think I may have came across them once or twice or ..maybe I'm mistaking the person...anyhow I thought this was a neighbour who has been one of the friendly neighbours to me...just a friendly comment here and some thoughtful advice there. and I felt kinda sad to leave a friendly neibour (even if i do have the wrong neibour) and I was borad...the kid definally looked borad..so I asked him if he wanted to play ball.."yes" so I go back inside and get the big orance ball...(this is like 7pm) and we bounced that ball back and forth intill he had to leave...which was 8pm. that was the coolest thing either of us did that day!

and I couldn't have had a more fun end to this day! Thanks!

song

I think this is a wonderful song...when my child comes home (whenever that may be) I'm totally sharing that song with my child !http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=demRHgul2Zk

hope you like it.

adoption and other stuff

Hi,
Ok, thats enough music for now..(for today), tommorow I am going to the Libraiy(hopefully) to print out application form...then I can finally fill it out!!!...(well, some of it) and I've got this big question I want to ask the agency but I half know the answer and just can't seem to come up with the courage to ask! even if i don't need to. its just something I want to know. crazzy huh? yup...I can just see you laughing. and I hope to write something for the Island parent magine.... I might not be a mom yet but I can still do that. actully anyone can. and it would be faster than a book....I'll do that tommorow too! if possible. at the libraiy. i've done more of my expectant mom shopping...still got a long way to go.
