Hi there Chelsea,
Traditionally, I am an extremely disorganised person, and I can rarely remember events from a week ago... (I had someone call me on Wednesday and ask if I had talked to people on Monday night about topic X, and for the life of me, I COULD NOT remember Monday night!)
So, I am applying for international adoption. I am a single applicant, and I know that here in Australia, that will hold me back a little and probably make my application take longer than average. I've "expressed an interest" in Columbia and India, because both have programs that seem at first glance to be OK for me - single, my age, and I'm not religious.
If this application does not go through, I will re-apply, because by then, I'll be old enough to apply to adopt from China. (You have to be 30 to apply to adopt from China, and I'm nearly 28.)
My mother is currently gunning for India... She told me she thought India rather than Columbia would be the most "culturally appropriate" for me... I'm not sure that one is "better" than the other - I'm open for a child from anywhere - I know the right child will find me, and I'm not blocking off any doorways that the child could possibly come through!
That's really great that your bosses were so kind when you told them of your plans, and it's good to know you have a place to return to work as well. That must be very comforting!
Well, I'm off for a cup of tea and a sandwich - it's good to see this forum active!
