I originally got involved as foster/adoptive parent after learning a relatives children where in care of CPS. However, the maternal grandparents eventually decided to step-in to care for their grandchildren.

Two years later, I received a call out of the blue to consider adoption placement for my now son (2 1/2). I have to admit to being totally selfish about relinquishing freedoms of being single.

But, upon seeing my son's face, I could not bring myself to passing on being his Mothers. I was not given much time to consider and/or think about the adoption. I admit it was a during first 2 months for both of us to adjust to each other.

It has been a little of six months and all my friends (with and without children) are insisting it is time for me to start living again in the since of allowing time for myself. My Mother has also hinted it is time for me to resume a social life.

How do you balance a social life? I do not want my son expose to every person I date, nor will there be ANY uncles.
