  • Jaymi,

    My mom and dad started the process for one of the Wednesday's Child adoptees right before I graduated from college and my mom said she couldn't go through with it.  Generally, if you're going to adopt some of the older children, you have to go through their whole case file, you have to know about every mark, inside and out.  You learn everything that they went through.  Pictures included.  My mom said that she just couldn't stand to read that file.  

  • Thanks Tiffany! :-) Julie- I imagine that some of that would be hard to read. Are you wanting to adopt an older child?

  • This is random, but does anyone know why Kidd hasn't been on KKITM the past two days?
  • Sara- I don't know but I've been wondering that myself :-/ One of the salespeople here makes personal calls all day long and is really loud. It makes it hard to concentrate. People in the office don't like him because he can be difficult. I don't dislike him and I honestly feel bad that everyone else makes it so obvious that they don't like him.

  • Sara - I was wondering that too!

    Julie - I think it would be really difficult to read a childs file, but even more difficult to not help them after all they have been through!  Kudos to you guys for looking into adoption.

  • I agree with Tiffany. I don't think I could read the file and not just want to take the kid home right then and there. Our sponsor couple adopted while we were doing classes with them. They have the cutest baby boy. DH and I hope to adopt at some point too. Please tell us about your experiences it might be helpful to others.
  • Dear Julie, such exciting news! Can't wait to hear how it all goes for y'all!!

    Dear allergies/sinus cold/whatever you are, Please go away. I hate you.

    Dear Husband, you are amazing and I am so lucky to have you.

    Dear State Fair, we had a great time Saturday, but boy I was wore out on Sunday. The fried Oreos were amazing!

    Dear iPhone 4S, I love you!

    My mom just couldn't stand knowing that a child would go through some of that.  She was more afraid that she would not be a parent but just a BFF who bought everything and did anything to make her happy since she'd had such a crappy start in life.  Even now, when I read about some of the stuff on the news (selling them for crack, forcing them into the sex trade, selling them for a trip to Disney--one woman did it recently), it's so heartbreaking.  We will probably go for a younger child.  However, if it's a family that they are trying to keep together, then we will consider it by all means. 

    Sara,

    I've been wondering where Kidd was too.  He wasn't there on Friday of last week either, if I remember correctly.  

  • Leslie, Can you talk him into going with you a couple times?  Then once he sees it's okay, you can make a weekly commitment.

    Julie, That is so great!!!  I hope it's a smooth process for you.  Are you going to adopt a baby, or a little bit older child?  I think we all agree, you're going to have to keep us updated on the whole process!

    I am sick today.  I woke up this morning and just couldn't drag myself out of bed, so I emailed my manager and said I wasn't coming in.  I laid back down, and didn't get out of bed until 12.30.  I feel okay right now, just zero energy...  Ugh, I hope this goes away soon.  I don't want to use all my PTO days on being sick!

    No, I'm not planning on joining your church. Please stop leaving tickets to your spaceship launch.

    Dear Hubs,

    I don't understand you at times. I'm starting to realize that your mother must have done everything for you. That won't happen with me...sorry :)

    -Wifey

     

    Non TK/TN person,

    I don't think I would have said one bad thing about you. I guess your true colors are showing now. Hate that it had to happen the way it did.

     P.S.This isn't about anyone here. Totally an outside situation.

    I wish you had a feature to block people. Just an idea!

  • Julie, that is very exciting!  I hope everything goes smoothly. 
  • Dear Nesties,

    Just wanted to say hi!  Our trip to Chicago last week was a blast.  IT was nice to be off work and just relax a bit.  I then flew back Sunday night, did laundry took a nap and left for the airport less than 12 hours later.  It is going to be a long week.  :(

    Julie,
    Yay!  How exciting! My cousin and his wife were having trouble conceiving, and decided at the beginning of the year to adopt.  They got all of their final stuff in earlier this week and are now available for mom's to look at them as adopters!  They decided to try domestic for the first child, and then potentially look at international for additional kids.

     Leslie,
    I understand wanting to help out the homeless, but I've had to go to Presidio st a few times, as there is a telco location there that I had to work in.  I heard many stories from the people that worked there on a day to day basis, and I can't blame your husband for being concerned.  Maybe y'all can go a few times together and scope it out before making a final decision?

    Dear Rangers,
    Lets take it all this year!!!!  I'm so excited for you guys!

  • Leslie, I understand about the homeless too. I'm always wanting to help them out, but DH thinks that sometimes they are rich people acting like they poor. There was a guy by the DART train on Sunday outside of the state fair wanting food. I felt so.bad. DH and I didnt have any money or food on us, but if we did, I would have given him some.(I also would have carried my mace, just in case)

    Dear Nesties-

    I'm making my MILs famous spaghetti and meatballs for DH and his dad tonight. I've tweaked her recipe and made it my own, and DH said mine is better than his moms.(hmmm???) Also, we're still sitting on the floor in our living room until Friday. Oh well. :)

    -Danielle

    Dear Hubby-

    Thanks for being so awesome today! Ordering another box for our bedroom for me to watch tv is GREAT!! Now you can have your video game room, and I can watch tv in our bedroom without having to hear each others noise. AWESOME!

    Love, your wife <3
