So anyone who knows me realizes that I seems to talk about adoption no matter what topic is at hand. I love children, I love being a mom, and I LOVE adoption. It seems like such a perfect way for me to build my family. Maybe that is because I have seen parents of my foster children take their children for granted or I have seen the desperation and heartache of the parents and children in Ethiopia.
I let myself get so overwhelmed by all the different counties requirements that I thought I would not adopt right now and I would focus on moving. Moving into a larger home where my children could have their own rooms, a house that had a dining room for family dinners, a house that had a nice big backyard. Well those are all nice thoughts but at the end of the day I see the children in Ethiopia that don't have homes, parents, food, love, or a yard. It doesn't matter if my children share a room while they are young, we all sit around a tiny kitchen table for dinner, or have to walk to the park. It does matter that I adopt a child to become part of my beautiful family created through adoption.
So to keep this a short post, I will hopefully be posted more regularly now. I have sent in paperwork to update my homestudy and will be filling out the formal application to adopt with Children of All Nations (CAN). I am super excited to start this crazy journey again.
