Ben turned 2 yesterday! My, how time fly's huh!! Mason will be 5 months tomorrow. I just can't believe it. Other than that, I have nothing new or interesting to say. Happy Halloween Every one!!

OK! Since last post, Ben's adoptoin has been finalized.. My mom died... My brother is moving in with us... Ben's bio mom has had another son who has been placed with us for adoption but we won't know if we get to keep him until november, he is now 2 months old... I quit my hospital job and as self employed as a Doula/ Childbirth mentor.... We are ( Read more... )

There aren't any that close (that I can find) to me. Now that we have a young child (and adoption that isn't finalized) I don't want to travel too far. I think it would be nice to have some sort of small musical event locally. I wonder what it would entail ($$) and how many people would truly be interested should I decided to take on this venture

Things are going very well with our new son, Ben. He has been making great progress since he has been home. All the therapists are impressed. We are considering buying another house next year so we can open a day-care/group home for special needs children. Our orientation is in April. Yesterday was my birthday. Wow how time evaporates, huh? Ben has ( Read more... )

Our son is coming home!!! YAY! Next week! OMG, can't even beleive it. I am going to be a mamma. YOu should see this littl guy. He is beautiful. He could look like a troll and I would still think he as beautiful though!

So the child we were supposed to be placed with fell through at the last moment. I find myself thinking, if we had just inseminated, I would have a child in my arms right now. Enter my ethics. I can't decided on what to do. I feel like I have a duty to our community and humaity to make a difference in this world, not matter how small the part. Sure ( Read more... )

This is where th tell us the full history and background of the children, frm there, we pick which one we want. We know for sure that one of the kids is being offered to us. The other child we will find out about ( Read more... )

OK, about 6 weeks ago there was a little boy who we wanted to adopt and we were passed up- from our understanding- it was because we're gay. This was told to us through so many words. Well, that adoption fell through at the last minute and he is now available again. Now adoptions have to go to a committee, a panel of 5-8 people who vote on the ( Read more... )

Today,we officially finished all of the pre-adoption beaurocratical hullabaloo. Its DONE. No more paperwork until we actually get a placement (and no, we have no idea when that will be). So now, we are just waiting for the phone call saying they have a prospective placement for us. If we do not get a placement w/in one year, we have to continue ( Read more... )
