I'm stuck. I do this, I realize, and I know it's annoying. I go, go, go, then stop when I begin to feel slightly overwhelmed and confused. I'm not stopping permanently, I promise, we have been talking a lot, trying to figure out how to move forward.
This week we have been approached by a co-worker of Sparky's about taking in a 2 & 4 year old. I have no idea where she got this information, but apparently she knows of these toddler siblings that are eligible for adoption. I'm unsure of how I really feel about this. Part of me wants to jump, run to the nearest fingerprinting place and start the process yesterday. Part of me is scared silly at the thought of parenting two willfull toddlers at once. Instantly. So, we're pondering. And while I'm sure that these two little ones will find a good home, we are giving it serious thought and consideration.
We are also still considering searching for our own birthmother, or as a new development seeking adoption through the foster care system. We're reading, thinking and praying, and hoping that soon we will have the courage and confidence to push forward with whatever our decision will be. And I'm quite confident that it could, would and should be a combination of options.
So, that's our news. Hope you're having a happy day!
