Adoption Fair

One of the mum's at the daycare I work is a fost-adopt mum who I work very close with with her children. I often form bonds with them "just in case", often taking her oldest boy out for dinner once or twice a month (who's bio mum had a court date yesterday.. here's to hoping she doesn't get him back (she abondoned him and his 5 siblings when he was just over a year old. He came to our daycare at 2 and now at 3.5 yrs old he is thriving, going to school, speaking in almost clear sentences and only has mild behaviour problems.. a complete 180 from his previous behaviour.)) Regardless, this mum gave me the bit on the adoption fair in Louisville. Wednesday's child is holding the fair and I am truely hoping CWA will be there.

I have to email the lady at CWA and inform her I will not be at the informational meeting saturday. I have a daycare training that day that ends an hour before the adoption training begins and I do not forsee myself being able to drop off the lady I teach with and get across town. It's nearly impossible. I will reschedule it for the March 13th day. That should be easier!

In other news, the adopt fair. I am excited to go to it. Going to try to drag along my mum in hopes of convicing her that not having little red headed children of my own will not harm me in any way. the way I explained it to her is "I am in a unique area of my life that I see so many children who NEED a loving forever family... I can be that. That doesn't stop me from some day changing my mind and having biological children, but even with biological children, the pull to adopt has been too strong... since I was 5. I think that is the right calling for me, to adopt." She just keeps saying she'll never have grandkids. (In her defense my 30 yr old brother isn't married, and can't keep a GF cause he's a chovanist, and my middle brother, 26, has his first serious gf who isn't psychotic, and very well could be married in a year... but we all think he's gay.) Regardless, dealing with her constantly telling me I'll never have the funds, or I won't be able to do it, really doesn't help much.

I bought a few things for my new apartment. I still don't have an apartment, but I should be debt free by the end of this year (sans schooling debt) and I will be able to move into a two bedroom and hopefully start fost-adopting infants and sibling sets, and that will just help my efforts for foreign adoption.

I can't wait to grow up, yet I don't want to, all at the same time. One thing I know, however, is I am very ready to be a parent. Very ready.
