What a week holds

Things can change quickly. The little boy we want we will probably not get. It's too bad because he will be able to be adopted. Mix in a little politics and everything gets screwed up. We will have him and his baby brother for the weekend as respite. I'm excited about that. But by Saturday night I will be exhausted!!

Lovebug's mom is doing great. I am preparing my family for her to reunify. It's heartbreaking if I think about losing her, I can barely stand it. So I don't think about it. I take it one day at a time and say to my kids that she will be going home in Feb. The things I look forward to is her first Halloween, first Thanksgiving, and first Christmas. I am overjoyed we have her, but I also feel sad for her mom. Thankfully we have a good relationship and I will be able to include her somehow. I am just not sure how yet. The biggest thing for me now is helping Lovebug's mom to be a great mom for Lovebug. I don't really know how to do that either. So complicated.

147millionorphans---I ordered some goodies from there. The procedes go to Uganda to feed the children. The women of one tribe are making beaded necklaces. I cannot wait to get mine, it's a great way to share their story.
