When I can just send you to a friend's blog post about us?
It's so much easier.
Who wants to write about us tomorrow? <wink>
You Know You're An Adoptive Family When...
- your child's new therapist scares the snot out of her... and you love him for it, and know you've finally found the right guy.
- you daydream about how to add rooms or re-partition space in your small home to make room for more children.
- for that matter, you wonder if there's someone who could retro-fit your van with another bench seat instead of the 2 seperate ones in the middle row, to make room for just one more child...
- you have to remind yourself to let out of town friends and family members know how many kids you currently have, in case they missed a coming or a going.
- you have to explain why the birthparents they love aren't on their "Safe-Side Adults" list.
- you overhear your newest children talking in the bathroom, debating about whether they like this home better, or a previous one.
- you tell your son he's your favorite black-haired 8 year old (since you also have a blonde 8-year old), and he replies with "And you're ONE OF my favorite moms."
- your children see an advertisement with a baby in it and ask if we can "get that one."
- your children ask to "keep" the babysitter.
