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...
I never claimed that i would update this journal on a regular basis, and it has taken a back seat for a while. Life has been so busy. I work hard and play hard. (though mainly work!)
I did apply for the job at school, the interviews were today, and I didn't get the job. I'm a great believer in what will be will be. I knew that if I didn't get the job there was a reason and another purpose to me than teaching. I'm not interested in feedback, I'm not really that interested in (ahem) "furthering my career". My wish is to adopt in the next 12 months. Dave knows this...
The reason for applying was the fact that I need to make plans incase adoption didn't happen. There's only so much twiddling of thumbs that one can do, and a permanent job would have really settled us financially too, meaning that when the time came, we would be so much more able for a child. But money isn't the be all and end all. We can afford a child in our lives, and we would like a child in our lives (though I'm still waiting for Dave to realise this...
)
So, not getting this job has made our decision easier. I'm going to start being serious about this adoption business now, and get on to it!
I've really appreciated the comments I've found here - so much wisdom and support - thank you. Please come back and visit again.
