Thank yall. Yes, still so sad about Tony. He was what my friend called a gentle giant. 6'4", but sorta slow and very caring. He was like our kid to us really. Took him with us everywhere, esp before we had kids. Parks, camping, the beach.. he was grown and had never seen the beach or been in it. We still have pics of that day.
He would get depressed and lived with his mother. She didn't do much to help. Watched him drink every evening.. sitting there. No one much in that family tries to better themselves so we can see how it can be easy for him to just be the same way. But we loved him. And miss him so much. He used to say his best times in his life were with us. He knew we really cared, you know? So sad he is gone. Thanks for caring.
Yes, hoping to adopt a baby boy. Will find out next week in court if he'll be coming to us or not. It's thru CPS.. the mom had 3 before him and lost rights so they think if we foster him, he will come up for adoption too. We are so excited. Child Advocate and CPS and others involved want us to have him. But the babys attorney wants him to stay in the first home they put him in. Im glad they are being great with him but he is my 3rd childs half sib and so if we want him, he is to come to us, by tx family code. She is giving the courts a time using loopholes to keep him with the other family. Blah, such a mess. Pray for us!! CPS filed a motion and we go bk to court next wk and they all think theyll have no choice but to give him to us. He is almost 3 months old. We said yes when they called us about him, after the other family had only had him 10 days.. so I feel they are taking precious time from us. My other 3 came to us from the hospital and have 3 wk and 2 month photos made. Now I wont have those of him but its ok. God has a plan. And if for some reason we dont get him, then maybe its because the baby we are supposed to have is being born today and we are to wait for him. Just hafta be graceful and patient. Love is patient.
And ty, I love being a mommy. I always said if I won the lottery, we'd maybe never stop adopting! LOL! But I do wanna be at all their school things and even with two and their sports its hard so I sure couldnt do more than 4 or 5. My first 3 are about 3 years apart so gives us a little room but we will see how many as we move forward. Love my babies!!!
Well. I talked your ears off, LOL, everybody tell us about YOUR kids. I love hearing birth stories, all about the first day with your baby. I have mine memorized because mom told me often, all about the day I was born. She loves babies too and always said we are her greatest accomplishments.
Be back later on, hugs, Selina
