more adoption news (the appointment)

the appointment went pretty good , other than me feeling nervous, yet calm and mostly confident. I learned quite a bit it was a little I expected and a lot I didn't expect...which include the following:
* I expected them to ask what lead me to adoption.
* I did not expect to be asked what gender i wanted to adopt( I for some reason thought this was for the homestudy)
* I did not expect them to know before I even take a homestudy that I am committed and have reseached a lot.
*I did not expect I'd need to work fulltime and the income I'd need to make to adopt as a single mom.
* I did not expect that when in homestudy need 12 pages of my life.
*I didn't really expect them to be as supportive as they were.

hope to go have a chat with doctor about eplipsey and parenting soon.

my adoption news

I now have a appointment with my adoption agency on jan.9th 10am and funny enough...I'm not nervous I'm actully really excited!!I went to my agencys christmas party as well and got to talk to some people and ask questions and had fun! i was looking at parenting books resently and came across one that really would help understanding Zaiven when I adopt Zaiven.

Christmas party

I had a good time at the Christmas party...I picked out 3 mugs for a secert Santa, I felt shy and it snowed!! and I clapped the loudest(mostly) and I skriched "woo hoo!! yes! when it snowed!I had a nice dinner and soon they were singing and I chickened out on dancing with sam!(not that it was dancing time just yet) and really felt overwhelmed and lights bothering me. and when it was snowing (without my coat) I went outside to feel and see the snow and phone T...I closed the door and when I went to open it I discovered I was locked out and then someone opened the door (thankfully it was fast) but i had a good time.

name for child

I picked the name Zaiven..this is just the name i pick for my child in my heart. don't know yet what it means. anyhow, lately figurering out a childcare plan for Zaiven theres a daycare that is on my list that goes all the way from birth to 12 yrs old! but most of the daycares go up to 5pm only i will need childcare intill 8pm hoping maybe support system or ypsn could help out with that.

November is adoption awareness month!!

November is adoption awareness month! spread the word! make a diffrence. celebrate!
my awareness is that there is over 1000 kids out there who need familes! every child deserves a family! what i am doing is a fundraiser this month and putting up posters spreading awareness and countining on with my adoption journey. i can adopt 1 maybe two kids and honestly, it will give a child or two a family and that makes a big impact in that childrens life! but what about the other over 1000 kids?

fun at lake and more

I had a lot of fun at lake with L & G & A about 3-4 weeks ago! I think my favorite part of it was when I was in the lake with my shoes on catching a frog ..it felt so neat! its like a hamster walking on your hand. and when G and me were trying to catch a fish..it was the highlight of my day!

a while ago, I started feeling seizurous so I had to be out of work for a while but I am now feeling much better! and able to work again! YAAAHOO!


and got out a bunch of parenting books at libraiy (one of which I've already read) but I do beive that while there so helpful I get so much more out of parenting cources (this includes hyperness) so going to take another parenting course when get oppertunity.

motherhood

this is a picture of the beach. waiting to be a mom is so hard for me right now...things like stickers on Van windows and on and on even bring a longing!
