thanks for the welcome you guys. i've been trying to go to as many things as possible that are agency related, and i never really call them with questions and stuff, i just show up. haha so they should know my face by know.
you guys are probably right, though, i should get on them about approving me. my apprehensive side has been convincing me to be patient, but my mom side is getting a little antsy. since i'm not quite as familiar with that side of me, it's been losing out to my fears and doubts. but i should be proving that i will be able to advocate for my child by advocating for myself now, right?
i absolutely go through the mare listing every month, the alternative being that i just wait for a new kid to come through the agency and catch them before the 120 days or whatever after which they have to be put in the book. and i totally agree with you, szy, that i'm sure that most of the kids are so much better in real life than how they appear on paper. just the fact that so many of them seem to be adopted by their foster families illustrates the fact to me.
i DO have a dog! and i play video games and like to go on outings and be silly as much as possible. and there are no other people in my house to dilute my attention. i AM a super family. haha i should start doing daily affirmations like stuart smiley. and gosh darn it. people like me.
jl - i am a little scared of daughters. i don't really want to elaborate, since i am totally generalizing and stereotyping when i think that. i just feel that for the most part i would do better with a boy.
and P.S. I truly am not this quivering neurotic mess that my posts may make me seem. it is just so great to know that other people are going through or have gone through some of the same things.
