Welcome to my blog! Growing up, the thing to do was write in your journal, some of which I still have. Today, blogging is the lazy person's version, of which I am extremely grateful for! There are so many blogs about adoption journeys and I can't say mine will be fantastically different. There is a common thread which we all go through. My family and I are just starting our path and it's exciting and scary.
About us, a city dwelling family of 3....me, my husband our 2.5yr old biological son. I've never thought I'd be categorizing a child like that and I don't plan too, but for this blogs sake, it does make a difference to differentiate. We had our son with no issues. I got pregnant on my wedding night at age 37. Besides a c-section due to our son's crazy position, my pregnancy was thankfully uneventful. I gave birth 2 weeks earlier than my scheduled C and never felt a single contraction. My water broke at midnight and by 3:17am, we had a bouncing baby boy. Of course, our life was forever changed.
Our son is the perfect child and I don't mean he's perfect. He is a child in every way possible.....the whining, the tantrums, the volume.....he does everything a kid should do both, good and bad. He has spoiled us and we want more. We've always wanted more. As a young girl, you dream about your perfect family. My dream was; married and 2 kids by 30. HA! Ah to be a kid again. I was only 7 years off. Not too too bad! My husband is one of four kids and I have an older sister. There's was never any question of just one. Selfish? Perhaps, but you have one life to live so live it as you wish.
I won't go into too many details right now, but 5 miscarriages later is where our adoption path began. Actually a little earlier as my research started after my 3rd. I'm 40 and my body has had it and so have I.
Adoption is not 2nd best, but just a different 1st way of creating our family. This blog is to serve myself first as it's a journey I want to remember. Secondly it is to serve others, so that our experiences may benefit or help when it's time for their journey to begin.
Welcome to our World!! We are glad you are here :)
