Decision

Many of you have been asking how my aunt and uncle felt because of all my indecisiveness.  I talked to my aunt today and they had been feeling almost as bad as I had because of someone they thought was going to be their child too was “taken away” from them. All this time [...]

forgotten

i have forgotten all of my reasons that i stood up for so many times about adoption. and i said in the past, i would do anything in my power to take all of Callies pain that she will EVER experience, for her, and maybe this is my chance. I really don’t want to [...]

Better

I am getting a lot more sleep. Getting a lot more done with college. I’m almost done. And I get to go to my work orientation. I feel a lot better. I have just been thinking and I sometimes worry for Callies sake for the future. I think adoption / parenting both have it’s [...]

Well, I got a call for orientation first thing tomorrow morning for a job. I have to turn it down because my mom works all the time and there is no one to watch Callie in the morning for orientation. And I dont want to leave her with just anyone. The job is evenings [...]

Brooke Fraser – Love is Waiting

It’s 11:22.  I just put Callie down.  She finally fell asleep.  Hopefully it’s for a while.  I should be sleeping too.  But, I was like sitting there, holding her, and as dumb as this sounds I just could not help but cry.  Basically, well actually yes,  because i [...]

New Years Ramble

So, I know I haven’t written in a long time.  So far, I’ve had Callie here.  She’s awesome. She’s so smart. She is doing things that I don’t think some babies do yet. She’s perfect. She sleeps through everything. She behaves amazing in public. BUT It’s still so exhausting.  Sometimes I still feel like [...]

Love is patient, love is kind.

Tomorow I’m going to see Callie.  I am so excited.  I miss her so much!  I have been communication with my uncle lately, and I just want to say that I really could not ask for a better family. Really.  I am so fortunate to have been able to grow up around them and [...]

clearing things up

First of all, i just wanted to say my main conflict was not feeling at peace with my decision which was my fault.  i didnt speak up with what i wanted.  my aunt and uncle came to me with everything, the papers, to visit, to be there for the birth, all that because i [...]

48 Hours

For adoption, legally, you can’t sign the papers for 48 hours.  I don’t think it’s literally 48, though.  For example, my baby was born at 6:48 PM December 16th.  I don’t think I had to wait until 6:48 PM December 18th.  I think it’s just when they release you from the hospital, typically that [...]

Inducing

I’m inducing on wednesday the 16th.  So close.  Very scary.
