The count down begins
It's almost adoption day!
This boy my first born started this whole wild adventure. The same month our babe was conceived was the same month Man of the woods sat me down to have this conversation:
Si: Mom you're a good Mom and Dad's a good Dad. Some kids need to be loved right?
Me: Yes.
Si: So why don't you do it?
Me: hmm, I don't have a good answer for you. I'll have to get back to you.
Strong Man had been asking me for ten years to be a foster parent with him and for ten years I had straight up said no. But after talking with Man of the woods I realized I didn't have any good reasons to say no. That same day I began praying for and about the child we would take in. In my mind that child was always hiding behind the couch or under a bed, and the child was a girl. Really HE was growing and waiting to be birthed into the world. I've been told he's a miracle child. After mothering him I tend to agree, he's my miracle child, created for me. If Man of the woods hadn't been willing to ask questions then maybe I'd still be saying no.
