A journey on the road to adoption

Have you ever wondered what it's like to want something so much that your heart feels likes its going to break everytime you see somebody with the thing you want?

Have you ever felt such a jealousy of people who have what you don't?

Do you know what it feel like when you need to show joy your face, and in your actions, but inside you're crying?

That's what I feel like when people tell me they're expecting a baby. That's how I feel with every new baby I meet.

But it's time to do something about it... the time is right, it's time to consider the road to adoption.

Come on that journey with me, help me along the way. There's going to be excitement, joy, frustration, upset, impatience, mis-understanding, and a partner who needs just a little more convincing...Seat belts on folks...

A little more clarity

I have decided not to apply for the permanent job. My current position carries on until April 2007. I have thoroughly enjoyed the first week, I know there is a long way to go, but I know what my priorities are, and what they need to be.

Also, we came back from the meet in Leeds via Derby, the peaks, etc today, and we have realised that we want to move back to Derby. We miss the hills, the fact that 'nowhere' was only 5 minutes away, and the close proximity of everything. We are therefore pretty adament that we will move back up North sometime in 2007. That's NOT to say we don't like it here in Herb Lane, because we DO. It's just that well, we realise what we had there, and now know where we want to be. Dave just needs to find the right job for a transfer, come next year.

Mrs B... will be practically on your doorstep! ARGHHHHHH

The thought that you will be only a few hours away makes me smile pretty widely. Especially if we both manage to have children one way or another - imagine the great crafting we can do with them!!
